This looks like the amount of paperwork I need to do to register for classes each semester.
What room was this found in. That may give us a better idea what it could be. To me it looks like a smock due to it not looking like it has a back to it. An apron could also fit how it looks from the finished edges and no buckles. Don't think it was a straight jacket or other restraint but anything is possible for that time period.
Any idea why the switches would be on? Was there some kind of emergancy back then?

Heh, actually the room is almost pitch black, I took several exposures of me lighting various parts of the room with my flashlight.

Was thinking the same thing anna but most posey restraints ive seen have arm holes. Perhaps we are thinking too linear, maybe a sort of canvas transport for small linen? Maybe it fits around a metal frame. Im stumped.

Its a drinking cup. Big handle for easy gripping. There would be a lid that fits over it with a sort of spout so liquid would come out just by tipping it a bit. Like a giant sippy cup for grown-ups
