They would have been used in the kitchen, the one that held water was probably used for the bucket of drinking water that was kept in the kitchen. We had a similar system when we lived in a house with no running water. Merlin, the one you allude to would have been a lot larger! Why not try a local auctioneer who sells antiques, for valuation.
