    trying to identify any details on these objects, perhaps their brand name or maker? the time era they made have been made?

    The first is a tiny part of a watch, forgive me thats it's a blurry pic, it's the best i can get. it's small, oval shaped, with the numbers 12, 3,6, and 9. its says the word LSON under the 12. there's very tiny text above the 6 thats unreadable.
    The back of the watch has a tiny circle with the letters "IP" or "PI" it also says stainless steel, and what looks like maybe a brand, i can sorta make out "jok---rbezel
    this is whats left of my grandmothers watch, she lived from 1914-1976

    The next item is my grandmother's jewelry box, which she passed down to my mother, who passed it down to me
    it's silver, i don't know if it's stainless steel or not. the top lid details a picturesque farm scene and has a repeating pattern around the bottom. There are no text maker marks anywhere to be found

    WILSON? NELSON? The box could be EPNS, electroplated nickel silver.

    The box is most likely 1960s Japan. Had a red velvet lining.
    May or may not be silver plated.

    yeah, a clear pic of the bak may reveal the manufacturer name.

    Welcome, dakotagirl.
    I don't know what you use to take photos with, but it is easier to photograph a small item if you put it down, preferably on a plain background. The camera focused on your shirt, not the watch.;)

    The box could be pewter, and probably Japanese made, like cluttered said.

    Or Taiwan, more likely. Those boxes were common. The watch? I can't see anything of it beyond a gold color. We need the markings on the back.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    On the watch picture, though it's counterintuitive, I think you have the piece too close to the camera. Try keeping the piece at least 4-6" away from the lens. Take a high resolution image and then crop off the excess background.
