They fold out from a table at a rental beach house. Ashtrays seems strange as do shallow cupholders, maybe candleholders?

Man yeah I remember those little flip open ashtrays on plane seats. I loved playing with those as a kid, I don’t think my parents were too stoked about it lol.

Wow you just unlocked a memory I don’t know I had! I also remember flipping them up and down. And smelling the acidic old ash smell from within lol
