I think it's James 1 with a Bible. The two pages are in kilts with argyle stockings, and it makes more sense than King John. His clothes are...
And if it was plated, it's his own fault. :cat::cat:
Nice piece of glass; I've never seen the molded or cut glass in that color before. It's always been clear.
I'd guess it's 1980s or later, from the way it's made and the markings.
This would work great for jeweler's tools, but I don't think it was meant for a jeweler originally. Someone who needed small tools and...
I wonder if a jeweler's glue would work. I use E6000 for lots of stuff, but I've never messed with ivory.

Probably not, but you never know if they're Japanese.
If it's Jewish, sure could. Lots of Spanish and Portuguese Jews made a run for the Netherlands at one point. Their descendants still have their...
That one looks more like a howitzer.
The first one is a cuff button; they were often that size. I'd bet on the locket being sterling and amethyst glass. Get 'er under fluorescent...
Yeppers. Boudica's is a salt or something similar. I've actually used an eye cup and they're always oval with the dipped in bit in the middle....
Greetings! You're going to fit right in.
I want to hit your antique mall Marko! The beige beads are something they call "river stone", aka Random Pretty Rock. It was a "thing" in the 80s.
Bonus parts! I might leave them together in case of accidents. Looks like bakelite; I wouldn't think tortoise would hold up to the heat, and we...
Separate names with a comma.
