There are make up brushed look as if the handles are ivory. Bareetes. Pladtic-y feeling buckles. Tiny coral beads and black with _who would have thoufght_ a tooth. No good in this tooth.
    Some earrings that look partisan made. Can't see a stamp and I'm not sure if that's supposed to be leaves or a bird? A red stone in a copper setting. No idea... A 10k ring with orange stone. Pretty handkerchiefs and then the Little Asian man statue. He feels cold to touch and stays that way. What is he. Do you think these all belonged to the same person? Of so what era is this?

    Pandora sells earrings like that (you buy the wire separately). That being said, a quick look did not turn this up, but it can be difficult to locate discontinued Pandora designs unless you know the actual name or design number. If Pandora they would be marked "ALE" and if 14k gold (which most gold ones are) they would be marked "585" or if newer "G585".

    In the early 1990's, one of my sisters gave me an Estee Lauder makeup/brush set, complete with a matching storage tray. The brush handles look an awful lot like yours, but mine are definitely plastic. Here's one, shown with the mark that's on the tray:

    I'm not saying that yours are the same, but the handles do look similar.

    Mo, I think those. Are them or very close, they maybe yellowed more than your set. Going to check out mud man right now, thanks everyone.

    This.guy may be a mud man. He seems to hava all the right qualities but as he.is 2 1/4 inches tall the writing is tiny and I'm not sure what it says,

    I believe that's a Lowney's candy box. The font seems to be the same as on their other boxes & in their ads. For example:
    Lowney's Chocolates.jpg
    Lowney's Chocolate Company was founded as The Walter M. Lowney Company in 1883 in Boston, MA. The owner moved his company to Mansfield, MA, in 1903, and the plant continued to produce chocolate under a succession of names & owners (including Merckens Chocolate) until, after operating as ADM (Archer Daniels Midland) Cocoa, the plant closed in 2010.

    I'm not sure when the Lowney's name was changed, so I don't know how old your box might be.

    Ok. So I've been investigating the Pandora for a couple days. That design I haven't found but there are several that are So similar including a n open work pair of leaves that are Cut in the same thick non precise sort of way.
    I have several things I investigated. It seems that one or more of my relatives was a Pandora collector. O am still investigating a pile much larger than the one I confirmed but so far I have 6 pair of Pandora. I promise I'll post the collection I. A bit. I have a couple that are So similar I'm convinced they belong and I am looking them up first.

    Czech red glass, from what I can see. Call it circa 1930. Someone else might know more, but that's what it looks like from here.
