    the binoculars maybe interesting..
    the lighter holders...i've not seen before..
    the flat letter opener is likely an old page splitter..
    and that green hue silver jar may be worth a look..

    Would be interested to know about the (bone coloured)Chinese figure on base behind lighter holders as well

    Might be nothing, might be something

    The foremost vase looks interesting as well

    That fan looks in perfect condition. Check if it is bone or plastic.
    That round travel alarm clock could be worth checking out too.

    @judy , that porcelain part lady attached to (?) on the right hand side of the travel alarm clock (to the right of the fan), is that worth taking a look at?:)

    The what-appears-to-be 1950s length of Schumacher fabric the items are displayed upon.

    Yes.....a pincushion doll. Look for mark on back, might be buried in the folds of the cushion. They aren't as popular as they used to be, but if it's the right name.........

    I would check out the purses to make sure they are in perfect condition :)

    1. Mud man if not damaged
    2. As Charlie said check him out
    3. clock
    4. Looks to be German half doll.
    5. Chinese iron - maybe not much value but interesting if not damaged.

    I think the fan is plastic.

    The figurine amongst the vases looks very nice. Check for mark on the back.

    Look to be the best of the lot.
    Others appear to be Austrian so so.

    I am too, unless it's the silver piece in front of the fan.

    If it is, it appears to be a powder puff/powder jar. Sometimes musical as well.

    That's a powder jar with music box inside.

    Fun lot, but if for resale, I'm not seeing anything hugely valuable so wouldn't pay big money for any of this. Antiques and vintage for sure, but not seeing anything more than a value of $50 and most less. Just my opinion of what sells where I live. Disclaimer, I don't really know vases but most of these seem more decorative in value.

    Exception MIGHT be the figurine and/or pin cushion--but only if by signed a collected maker so check both. Good suggestion by Judy to pull back the cushion and see if there is a name.

    The purple purse is interesting, if near pristine, I would check for a maker's name inside. I can't really see the top part to see if anything special in that, enamel, etc. If there is a name, I'd look up others sold and make a decision from that, but condition will be super important.

    If the tall figurine winds up having a signature of interest, I would look over it with a fine toothed comb before purchasing. With all those extended parts you will want to really check for any chips, glued fingers, etc. Just the kind of thing that you get home and then realize the neck was re-glued.

    If you can get some of the others for a few dollars, might be worth it but I would not spend big money. Just my opinion.

    Maybe someone will spot something else-- so wait for others.

    This is ebony and sterling.
    Not worth much though.
