These are vintage solid brass storage or trinket boxes shaped like turtles. They have hinged lids that open to reveal hidden compartments. There is a lot of detailing to the shells. I am not sure but I think these are old.

One turtle measures 6" long x 3 1/4". The second turtle measures 6 1/2" long x 3 1/2" wide. The other turtle measures 6 1/2" long x 4" wide. They are in good condition but they all need some cleaning. They are very unique.

This is a vintage, costume pearl and beads necklace--4 strands--with earrings. These pearls are unmarked. The pearls and beads are all different sizes, some larger and some small. I am guessing they might be from the 1960s. (?) This necklace has a nice metal clasp that looks like leaves. There are some jade-looking beads--green --in the necklace. Very pretty. The earrings are for pierced ears.

There are a few tiny holes along the fold and some pages but it is in good shape for paper, lasting 66 years.

The paper also gives other Naval news...
