You have a fun road ahead of you on this journey, that much stuff would have me working for 2 weeks plus. This is lots of items, I started thumbing through my books and realized you have hours of looking to do. The others are a bit swifter at this then I but wanted to maybe suggest pick 1 item or two items in a thread, This way we can concentrate our effort and draw a conclusion and have a record. I would love to look into some for you but, got me all dizzy With where to start.

Haviland....limoges .....good! I would value the set at $100+if all are in pristine condition! (Hot Chocolate used to be such a delicacy - not your current Nestle or Hershey's easy-get-it item. To serve it was a real treat and was done as ritually as tea.) You have a very, very beautiful set.
