Thank you again for all the nice comments.

@ Ticonderoga:
I know nothing about my camera. I just place the lens really close to the object. Zoom doesn't seem to work well.

Thanks! I'm determined to find a 1969 in a coin roll. My pre '71 Kennedy hit rate is about 0.2%, so it will take a while.

Thank you for info about the copper wire clamps -- I made the edit.

As I continue to explore these boxes, I keep finding new treasures -- it's kind of like disassembling a Matryoshka doll. I think I found the coolest treasure of all and I went a little crazy taking lots of pictures. It's a custom sun sensor designed and built at the Berkeley Space Lab in 1987. The engineering design documents for the base plate were included in the box. I'm not sure if it was ever used or if it was simply an experimental prototype. I'll need to contact the engineer who gave it to me to see if he knows the history.
