I have a cookbook with a copyright date of 1806 and would like to find out its value. The book is titled 'The Cook Book' by 'Oscar' of the Waldorf, and it has a handwritten date by Oscar Tschirky on December 9, 1900. The publisher's name on the spine is The Werner Company. What is the actual publication date, who was the publisher, and what is the current value of the book?

I have a graduated silver bead necklace and a tiger eye pendant with matching earrings from my mother's collection of costume jewelry. The necklace is 95 grams of silver and has markings .925 and Mexico, but I can't identify the silversmith's code. The pendant and earrings are also in sterling silver but I haven't been able to research their markings. Can you help identify these pieces and provide an estimated value?
