These good quality dice are certainly of European make and quite possibly German. Each one is exactly 1cm square, while the pair together weighs 14g. Each one is also marked 925. They would appear to be hollow, the body possibly being cast in one piece and the base and the top being sweated in place.

This is a classic late 19th-century solid nickel example, unscrewing at the centre for ease of cleaning. Although not maker marked, it was probably made in Birmingham or Sheffield. It is just possible that the short end would have had a small boxwood ball to enhance the sound. It measures just over 9cm long.

John Jaques introduced this game in 1866, originally with square corners. This example, I think, is somewhat later because of its slightly rounded corners, although not that much later because a reproduction of a 1930s set shows a fireman with a brass helmet, only introduced into the fire service in the Edwardian era.

This is a livery button for the hotel in question, probably worn on a doorman's uniform. It is made by Firmin & Sons Ltd - Firmin became a limited company in 1875 and continues in business to this day. From the style of the piece and the quality of the gilding, it bears all the marks of an earlier rather than later production.
