  2. hi dave, thanx for visiting

    the one on the left appears to be holding a poppy seed-head ... source of pain-killing medicines then and now

    the one on the right is probably holding a kind of straight stethoscope ( usually made of glass ) used by obstetricians to listen to the baby's heartbeat
