Featured Nice haul!Bit clueless on some~Ruskin type box but plastic?!

Hello friends!
Had a good weekend,got loads of shiny and nice stuff...as always bit clueless on some!
This is about half of what I brought home.

I thought this was a Ruskin-type box but it's plastic
The outside feels like a thin metal but the box inside is definitely plastic,it has some writing on the inside
It's about three and a half inches across and one and a half down.
The jewel thing is glass






This is a weird button, it's sometimes blue and sometimes black




Are these modern buttons,please? I didn't get them together, different booties but same day
They are an inch across,one at last I think is silver





​

 

Blue button is probably dichroic glass. Edwardian.

The silvery ones look 1950s, I'd say pewter or pot metal.

Box writing is back to front.

 

Is this Mercedes?
( I think so but not sure)




Some mor e pics of the buttons and a few more
(Is there a way I can tell the age of a button?)






I have had loads of these filigree things before,but never one on card!


Some buckles!
One pair is MUCH sparklier than the other



Silver fork! Bit battered but IDC!
There is a teeny hallmark on there just impossible to see






​

 

This is my FAVE thing!
I have the comic somewhere too but this was a free gift with Spellbound comic when I was a child!

NOT MY PIC but I do have one somewhere


And is this a salt?
It's approx an inch and a half
if so,how do I find out how old it is?xx




​

 

I mean to ask why it's backwards, the whole thing is weird!​

​

The one button I think is silver around the edge,feels and smell like silver, do you think that is possible Mrs. B? xx​

Thank you x x x​

 

It could have a silver rim, true.

Glass thing is an eyebath I reckon. Black buttons probably Victorian jet. Shoe buckles may be as early as Georgian. Steel with paste, very nice.

 

Thank you my lovely!
Eye bath didn't even cross my mind! xx

Pity a lot of the paste is missing, do you know why one pair would be much shinier (reflects more colours I think I mean) than the other? x xx​

 

I just had a quick look, most of the eye baths I saw had a sort of lower edge? BUT it was a very quick look.
This one is the same all around ,all the edges are even?xx​

 

Dirt can do that.

 

That does make sense actually.
Thank you as always <3
Mrs B I was THRILLED to find that cat badge, I loved Spellbound and Misty comics,do you remember them? xxx​

 

Those shoe buckles are gorgeous, Bou.
The Mercedes pin is indeed Mercedes.
The black bead thingies are French Jet (glass) decorations to sew on clothing.
Some of the buttons could be Bohemian glass.
I don't think the glass thing is an eye bath, since the top is straight.

 

Thank you lovely AJ!
I was trying to say the edge is straight, I don't know why I can't just say what I mean! I said the other egdes were even,when I meant mine was straight ​

 

Is the fork a pickle fork do you think?xx
ETA I just looked at Bohemian glass and I have some vases like this!​

 

Language is difficult.

 

Says she that can communicate in more than one! I have trouble with just my mother tongue! xxx

 

The box looks like a candy box or bonbonniere. That plastic lining is fairly typical.

I have trouble with all of them.

 

Thank you Debora! xx

 

Pish! You're amazing with language and everything else<3

 

Sure others will have an opinion.
