From my personal collection, early 1900s, unmarked, solid copper set with hinged lids for the coffee pot and tea pot, and a creamer and sugar, all on a matching tray.  It would be complete except that the sugar container no longer has its lid.  Each piece has a wooden ebony colored handle.  Tray nearly 14" diameter, tall pot is about 8.5" tall.

Would be several $100s if perfect.  Early 1900s, maybe slightly earlier, approx 7 3/4" tall, lovely warm unpolished copper, hand crafted, bottom of handle is detached from the side, but still quite nice, sold as found, warm patina, lovely to display by a hearth with other copper items like a copper kettle or ladels, etc.  I was told this was for playing a game called Skittles.

Very cool, marked Germany on the bottom.  Looks like brass, early to mid 1900s, about 3" tall, 2 7/8" square at the base.
