I have posted this photo in another thread so you may already have a thought or two about the gems ,but i think the items are so good they deserve their own thread so give it a go,there are at least four visible ,can you name them and their makers

Is it the bear and the yacht?
Or perhaps the nearly hidden ambulance is a Minic?

I really like that ambulance. I could easily be tempted to collect Minic clockwork vehicles - but I’m resisting!
