I have an item, but I don’t know what it is. It is a copper container with a lid, dimensions 3 1/3 inches in diameter and 3 ½ inches in height (with lid and knob). The container has a 'leg' and a flexible wood part. The container sits on a metal post that goes through the wood part in the 'leg,' through the container, and into the inside of the lid. The post is attached to an 8-inch long wooden stick. There is also a metal chain with a solid brass heavy ball attached, which rotates the container in a circle during shaking. A bone disc is attached to the top of the wooden stick, protecting it from the rotating container. What is this item?

I have a set of six original watercolors by Percy Robertson, dated 1903/04, depicting scenes of the Thames between Hampton Court Palace and Shepperton. Each picture consists of multiple scenes within one frame. What is the approximate value of these watercolors, as most Percy Robertson works available online are engravings or prints?
