I'd call that a score, whatever the age. Add a new top of some sort and off she goes. It may have been stone, and might even have been leather or...
It's an oddball to be sure. I'm guessing some "bloke in a shed" didn't have a clasp to hand and got creative.
Yes. That. I'm not a big fan of 30s "amber" but the cast iron one looks like a disaster-in-waiting.
Sure do; I think that's deliberate. It's a shame about the poor star. I might say "it's supposed to be like that" and wear as is.
I'd be thinking Portuguese on the bracelet and some kind of candy jade on the ring - aka random dyed rock.
Bingo. Copy of a fauvist original. So... good living room decorator art.(LOL) The framing on this cost more than I paid for the whole thing, so...
I bet it started life as an armoire. I've seen some from the 20s this short. That 1817 paint job looks legit - probably a wedding gift. Too bad...
Two random dudes, probably. My great-grandfather made money as a musician in the 20s, but never recorded. He was never photographed doing it...
Could be. The hats fooled me. It was framed in New York State is all I know. Hey @Any Jewelry - I'll bet you know. (and may well have seen the...

It's worth $5 for the giggle factor alone. They're goofy, and probably in on the joke from the look of them.
It's printed by machine, not by hand. The ink is all wrong.
I need one of those. Not.
Goodie! At least somebody is finding something!
I've seen that bail on glass or random rock pendants before. To be sure, or even make a decent guess, we'll need clearer shots in natural light.
Or gold velvet, or royal blue.
On the one hand, it's too bad some bloke was wasting his time in prison. On the other, if he hadn't been in jail he'd probably have been too busy...
Not to mention plywood. I generally like shed work better - more personality.
Rhinestones aren't nearly so bad. I've never attempted the horror that is marcasite. @Arlene_V what's wrong with the star brooch? It looks...
Without being able to see the rest of it, I suspect a bowl and pitcher were on top for washing up. A "convenience" would have been kept...
Separate names with a comma.
