Thanks for everyone's help.  I decided to list the box for sale on gunsamerica.com for $1,750.00 which I think is a reasonable price.  Here is the link if anyone is interested.  Thanks again for all of your input.

I have an antique mahogany or rosewood case approx 1850. The case does have a season split in the top and some of the brass trim is missing but otherwise in good condition. The case has two matching glass jars with lids, an antique treen dice cup, clay poker chips, hand made bone dice, poker dice, antique Samuel Hart playing cards in good condition in box - all 52 cards. The top tray lifts up with brass rings revealing two engraved percussion pistols in good working condition. One is missing a screw under the grip but otherwise, they are in very good condition. It also has a percussion cap tin. On the top right side of the case is a pin that when you lift up, a spring loaded drawer on the right pops open. In this tray is a set of antique eyeglasses, an antique straight razor, antique cigar container (marked GER Silver), and two card sleeve cheating tools made by Wizard pat date 1888. I have attached pics.  Do you know the value?
