DavidUK, I think you are right about the box. It has a lengthy engraving, and is also missing a leg. I think I will sell it for scrap (It weighs 376 grams with the wood lining, maybe about 300 grams net) I got it for just $30, on the last day of an estate sale, so I am smiling.
I got the spoons for a little under scrap value, and I think they are pretty desirable, I am fairly sure that the one engraved 1902-1913 and the one I wrote about in my other post are over 100 years old (antique) It will be work to research, then sell them, but I think they are promising
I believe the bowl was made in Germany, it has the crescent moon mark, which I have seen before, and appears to be weighted at the bottom, without noting it as do American weighted items.
I will research the beaker when I have a bit more time. The sellers said that it was a Jewish religious cup, made in Russia.
The gold chain is 14K, marked 585, faint but there, probably overlooked by the sellers, the cross is nice looking but only gold filled. Got both for $5.
