Looks like you got a great deal. I love the red handled stopper and the little box. I believe the small fork is an appetizer or cocktail fork. I do not collect silver but besides stamps I do collect China. I hope that you have a big house to display all the things that you collect.
Okay now we have two varied theories! One watcher claimed it was a spice scoop. Perhaps it has more than one use, a lovely item all the same which now has place of pride in our collection. Many thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I read them all and try to reply to all!
Hello...The long utensil that you had in the purple bag may actually be a scoop for measuring out spices. I received some Hungarian paprika directly out of Europe and it came with the same type of spoon. It was slightly shorter and made out of wood. You did very well with your purchase. I collect a lot of things like you but unfortunately my kids have no interest in it. ( modern stuff all the way ) Some day, my things will also end up in an estate sale . Never the less, I get to enjoy them now.

Many thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Our house is not huge but we have lots of display shelves!
Hi , The long item in the bag you said was for melon is actually called a marrow spoon or scoop , it was used for removing marrow from bones.
