Title: 3 Different Trinket Sets, 2 Tray Designs, likely all Czechoslovakian.

Anne, I believe Mystery Trinket Set #47 is 2 different patterns.

Two tray patterns can be seen, they have the same size and edging, the central starburst and the all over starburst, but more than being just a "variant" tray, the candlesticks are also different, this is not easy to spot from the photos but I have seen the different versions up close. Additionally I think the pots with small roundish finial could be different in each set, the all over starburst tray version having an all over starbust in the base of the pots and the central starburst tray version having plain pot bases, again hard to see in the photos.

Mystery Set #145 has another central starburst tray, exactly the same as #47(a) and the same size and edging as #47(b) I believe this set is correctly shown.

Mystery Trinket Set #145 shares a ring holder with Mystery Trinket Set #63

I will try to add some useful photos when I get a chance.

Some photos comparing the candlesticks in Mystery Trinket Set #47, the Amber one belongs to the all over starburst tray base set, the blue to the central star set.

The fourth photo adds the Mystery Trinket Set #145 candlestick in pink.

The Clayton Mayers Catalogue shows the Jewelray Topaz range on Page 103 which seems to be Mystery Set 47, a continental maker which could well be Stolzle Hermanova, per this thread;

I've confused myself here, I should have said the Clayton Mayers catalogue c.1950's shows JEWELRAY The Sapphire Suite on page 105 which shows the blue candlestick above.
