Experts and photography enthusiasts have suggested that the “tablet-like” object is most likely an everyday item from that era—such as a small notebook, a Bible, or a compact folder.
These items were common at the time and can appear surprisingly modern in old photographs, especially when viewed through today’s lens.
Similarly, the object resembling a plastic bottle could easily be something else entirely, like a glass container or a folded accessory, with the lighting and angle creating a misleading impression.
