It appears to be a water pitcher.  Has a pink flowery rose-looking picture on each side and is trimmed in gold around the mouth of the pitcher, edging, handle and bottom.  It has Laughlin (with a long "L") and an eagle atop a lion.  It has a number 2180 in liquid gold.

Very nice coffer or trunk.  Based on info received and found I guess it dates from 1640-1650.  Has style elements from Yorkshire, England but also some that could be Danish.  Coffer is in the US, and I am wondering if it could be an early american coffer, with crossover styles.  Would appreciate any insights. 

i've been trying to find some history on it,but so far no one has seen one ,i cant find it in books or on the internet.Just like to know if possibly from small war party,or just convenience it being there,there are no house close to were i found it,so please any information would be great.And thanks to anyone that will look at it.Everything is there just needs flint and fluid to work,and it does work,i have tried it.

There are six of these in box as per photos, at the rounded end it appears to have

a place to place a cord of some sort. I would like to know what these are and their use, and what they maybe worth.

When I was about  4 years old my grandfather used to take me the dump and on one side of the dump was an old house that the sea was about to reclaim, managed to get in whilst it was just hanging in there,  I saw the cup way up on a shelf and wanted it so granddad  got it down for me and I have always had it, not long after that the house went into the sea.
