The photo is dark and blurred, but your 'gun ship' may be the top to a c. 1898 Remember The Maine butter dish, which came in many colours. I had one in cobalt which I sold, and in his buying he began talking and became friends! LOL. My guess is, they broke the bottom and tossed the rest out.
The white jars I find in 1960s contexts as frequently as 1920s contexts. They're usually cold cream and similar.
Larger blue looks like a Milk of Magnesia. The smaller ones are usually 1920s-1940s Bromo-Seltzers and knock-offs of their product.
The insulator likely had electrical uses, in transporting electric, not telephone calls. Some like it are still in use around my city.
The master lock key is I believe, ground off to all it to open any master lock.
