    I think that number 2 is a betel nut cutter. Possibly Indonesian.

      Well spotted Mike, it was listed as a folding knife, which almost described it but failed to identify it.

    Number 4 is a glass Christmas tree decoration, Late Victorian.

    (5) is a near Eastern hammered silver coin. Possibly from Constantinople.
