Has been slow lately, but scored today. The bowl is sterling and says "1949 Championship Pacific Coast Novice Prize". The earrings are silver and Ivory. The chain is 18k and 11g. Not sure what the pendant is and haven't tested the metal on it.

They had a carved dragon opium pipe which could have been Ivory but I think was bone. It was in the box and listed for $50. In hindsight I should have bought it.

Great finds Bill!! Those trophy and presentation bowls can be pretty collectible.
 

That is some really cool finds.
 

Nice finds. Great bowl. Polish that up and I think it will sell well. It would have been tuff to sell the pipe on eBay so passing may have been a good thing. Same goes for ivory. You probably already know you can't list ivory on eBay.
 

The necklace is Italian. Made by unoaerre. They seems to sell at a premium. Shooting for double melt.

The Ivory earrings are real but of very poor quality. The backs are silver, but the loops are not and not even soldered closed . I know these were probably made from leftover scraps. Sad to see an elephant die for crappy earrings.
