It's a "Hausmütze" I am from Germany, so i have to know this... Wilhelm Busch had drawings with these kind of hats. It was quite common in the past. It kept the head warm when central heating was not invented. It was a hat for indoor use. It had no religious or political meaning. It's just that... an indoor hat. Resulting, the fabric was also not for outdoor use, you could wear it outside... but it's not the purpose of this kind of hat.
i have a phonograph needle cleaning tool exactly like item #2. Yes, I sometimes still use a phonograph. The Tibetan prayer wheel is something I recognized right off, perhaps because I used to read National Geographic regularly. I love the picture of the copper water boiler, The photograph of the one in situ makes the perfect illustration for Dickens' description of the Cratchits' Christmas pudding 'singing in the copper'. I've seen many a knife box like this one, Much more elegant than the chunky knife blocks available today. That would have graced a sideboard in an upper-class dining room.
The mantras on the paper in the Tibetan prayer wheel are not spells, but are the 9 billion names of god. By spinning the wheel you invoke the names to benefit all.
Looking at pictures of a fez hat, it doesn’t quite seem to duplicate the style, in my opinion. There’s a little brim or flare at the top where the sides meet the top of the hat. And with the painting of the Caucasian man wearing it, it strikes me as something more along the lines of Renaissance or later European rather than Morrocan, Turkey, or Egyptian fez. jmho.
That knife box is a beautiful surviving example of craftsmanship! 👍🏻

Arthur C. Clarke wrote a short story called The 9 Billion Names of God.

A smoking cap
That hat worn in that picture is a fez.
And I'm number 1!
I do not think it is a fez, it flares out at the top and seems to be quite floppy. Fezes, to my knowledge, were all rigid tubes.
