Nice Bohemian, early 20th. I'd say uranium glass.
Buckles are early 20th. 1 and 2 and 5 are 40s into 50s. 8 maybe 30s, 9 has had new wires.
I've a nice saphiret stick pin which I paid peanuts for from a dealer who thought he knew jewellery. ;) And some angelskin coral.

Oh, I have stories. ;)
Teabags are the work of the devil, as I often say. They don't have strings here. ;)
That's a pocket notebook cover.
Yeah, well, if you will put strings and labels on the damn things....!
Gotcha! And thank you, as ever.
Certainly granite. It looks like a very worn staddle stone.
Biscuit barrel. Continental with that crossed seven. Might be Austrian.
