Dietz burner 87-1940. Antique road flare. Round. Looks like bomb.

I have a set for 12. Plates, soup,coffee cups/saucers, bread dish, coffee carafe, serving bowls, butter, gravy, etc. Each piece is quite weighty. I attached pics just in case I am wrong on the pattern name.
Thanks,
Ed

Only one thing I can see with this item is on the back side where a piece was attached has come updone. Your see in one of the photos. Other than that this piece looks great. There is like a cylinder in the front large enough to hold a pen. Can you tell me what this piece actually was. On the back is stamped Meriden B Company, Quadruple Plate 286 U.S.A.

Have original key, it is registered, and has original clock manual.

Marvel and DC special collector's edition comic book entitled:
MGM's Marvelous Wizard of Oz. Dated 1975. 1st issue

Beautifully detailed inlay wood design. See photo. Stamped and signed on the bottom.Has all the hardware except for the key and lock. As you see, I couldn't figure out the signature stamped on both sides of the bottom of the box. It is very similar to an important box appraised on Antique Road Show several years ago. I have owned it for 30 plus years and wanted to know more about it.
