What we have here are 3 sets of items that were replaced immediately upon moving into the new house. The first was in fact already replaced by the previous property owner.
These I assume to be the fixtures that were in place when the flipper bought the house. The bathroom at present has some nondescript Home Depot builder-grade lights, and these others were in the sink cabinet. I suppose I could try to hunt down someone staging a 1970s revival project, but really I'm just going to throw them away.
(When I packed up my parents' apartment after my mother died, I did the same thing - we took down our fancy glass fixture, replaced it with something from Home Depot, and then I discovered the original circa 1968 fixture in the back of a kitchen cabinet. I did leave it for the landlord, I don't know why - I'm sure he just threw it away, like I'm doing now)
Next up is the chain lock. I'd bought one for the condo, being too stupid to realize I couldn't install it with my steel door. But I kept it in case I needed it Someday, which turned out to be last week, because there was one one the house, but, crucially, it was missing the chain. Out with the old, in with the new.
Last but not least are the plastic shower curtain rings, also probably vintage 1970 along with the lights. I grew up with ones just like these, never minding that they were dull and uninspired, but minding very much that they were a PITA to get on and off when it was time to clean or change the curtain. They are so outta here.
All toss.
