The elaborate snuff box auctioned in 1927 is now in the Royal Collection https://www.rct.uk/collection/9044/table-snuff-box having been purchased by Queen Mary in 1932.
The elaborate ears of wheat tiara may have been purchased by a British person -- if the following is anything to go by. But, as far as I know, the jewel has "disappeared" from public records.
The Nuptial crown is today in the Hillwood Museum, thanks to Marjorie Merriweather Post https://www.hillwoodmuseum.org/collection/item/17.63
That still leaves well over 100 items sold in 1927 unaccounted for!
