143/145 is the street address of Richardson the furnisher, not indication of a limited edition.
Duh. Family name is Clement-Massier; no middle initial need apply.

Do they close magnetically? And one is a handbag made from an American flag?
Helmet shell cameo; pretty lady who is no one in particular; probably 1950s; cameo Italian, probably set elsewhere. You posted the image just...
I don't know if those slivery pieces in the first set are considered pearls or simply mother of pearl. It has been dyed to that color. Don't...
