Top left a patch box or cartridge box. I'd guess North Africa, Morocco or Algeria, but it could be Ottoman. Top right a Greek or Balkan 'Palaskas' Patch/cartridge box.
Bottom LEFT flask looks Moroccan again to me, but a good one. Bottom RIGHT not so sure, relatively average 'touristy' N.African type I'd guess.

Salaams ~ The top left looks like Turkoman as it is typical in the deign using silver and gilding(or brass?) in the split palmette pattern with glass or coral beads... :shrug:

Hi Atlantia
The bottom left seems to me the better one ,nice work and look older too, so I 'm supprise that it could be according you a" tourist item" I 'm not specialist so it is only an opinion.
Anyway thank you for your comment.

LOL, sorry you are quite right!
I meant the other way round. The bottom left one is indeed the nicer one and looks genuine and old, the right one seems more 'usual' ;)
