        @BeschlossDC what's that in the upper right next to what appears to be a fishing weight?

        @AlandanielHall @BeschlossDC The weight is actually a watch fob. The other thing is for cleaning glasses.

        @brucepknight WHAT is that strange circular piece - a kind of press or pincer? And the ivory pendant - like a rabbit foot? @BeschlossDC
