Happy SUNday! – strange stuff

I have two Martin County, Florida, House of Refuge Bicentennial Medals (1776-1976) and one Sears Centennial Coin (1886-1986).
Remember these?
US and Canadian coins.
Lens caps and a Leica Inspection Tag (Hang Tag).
A vintage loupe with its original box.

I found a box in my home office-studio with some cool old stuff. I put these on Mercari in case someone might have a desire to add them to their strange stuff box.
