This seems to be a shoe shine kit, but it has bordon's and the school for the blind.

1st item is a Yarn Winder............. ....2nd is as you stated, shoe shine kit. Borden's School made and sold the kits to raise funds for the school............. ..3rd item I would say is a booklet given out to owners of horses or mules to help the detective agency in identification of same.........

My opinion............ .retail in an antique shop..........winde r, $100-$125

shoe shine box........$50

Booklet.........$5-$10

too bad the signature on the booklet isn't THE.......Wilbur Wright..........ins tead of Wilber Wright 8)
