Pattern looks Malay/Singapore. I've things I bought out there. That clear thread is much newer than the 60s or 70s, unless someone has remade it.
Pewter will feel heavier.
Snuff Taker, yes, but I still think not English. That pink looks wrong, so does the base and ground and the gilding.
The waistcoat looks like a decent tweed. Those buttons would sell very nicely here: Scotties are wildly popular.
I've a desk in three pieces, as it were. The two side columns are separate from the top, which lifts off. Common here.
Oh, FFS. Now you've said that, I've gone back and looked. I thought it said &Co! Yeah, if it says 9ct then it's solid 9ct gold. My only excuse...

Damned if I can make it out. I bought yet another box of bling last night. Worth it for some other bits, including a sterling chain, but what...
Been there. Lovely place.
I reckon that's made for one of the mass market outlets. Very nice cropping!
Well, the flowers are ipomoea, forget me knots, dicentra, foxgloves, probably auriculas and a nice ivy wreath, plus some kind of daisy. ;)
Taupou, do you think it could be a QVC or similar thing? I've seen 925 on some of those sold here.
My NA stuff was pretty well all bought up on the reservations: certainly, all the Navajo stuff came from the Nation. Can't say I remember seeing...
