Hello Fernando,
a very nice treasure chest with interesting content. I think, this is a toolbox of a fisherman or another type of seaman. The long needle looks like a net- or sail needle. It is the same type of needle like on the hat of "Captain" Jack Sparrows. Portugal does have a great marine history. Regards Roland |

Perhaps too difficult to decide however I think looking at mother of pearl needlework tools at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/210965563768460228/ and then considering the possibility of pearl divers tools and equipment...the nose clip in particular is a thought.... Otherwise I give up !
