Picture 14 (post #13) is the Decoration for Ladies Merit in the War (Ehrenzeichen für Frauenverdienst im Kriege), created in 1918 in the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar. It should be made out of Kriegsmetall.

Pictures 10, 11 and 13 (posts ##10-12) are of the Member's Eagle (Adler der Inhaber) with the Jubilee No. "50" (Jubiläumszahl "50") of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern. The Member's Eagle was typically awarded to middle-level public servants (e.g., school headmasters) for long service.

Pictures/posts ##7-9 are of the Commander's Cross of the Order of Adolph of Nassau. This was established in 1858 in the Duchy of Nassau, which was absorbed by Prussia in after the 1866 war. However, it continued as an award of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg when the Duke of Nassau took over that throne. I have no idea how one would tell what period one of these dates from.
