Hello!

I have these five objects which I am unable to identify.
I found them over the summer while digging in old dumps for bottles.

Here's a video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrfgCOeVaqs The first object seems to be made of silver. It has some kind of decorative engraving all around it.
The second, fourth and last one are made of glass.

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Howdy marting, Welcome to ABN, and thanks for the video. Could'ya post up some still photos as well, please. The silvery first item looks more like pewter to me. I'm guessing a match safe. I can't even remember the glass items, now, and don't want to watch the video again, sorry. The little tin may be breath mints a la Sen-Sen, or perhaps make up. I didn't really get a good look at it...

First one is maybe a match safe or pepper/salt shaker?? Second one is a..... paper weight haha Third maybe had a powder makeup or something?? Fourth one looks like a big ol stopper. I'm not a very good detective. [:(]

The glass piece is used to place your knife on at the dinner table after you have used it, I believe. Maybe....LOL!!!!
