The Sibley, Lindsay & Curr (Rochester, New York) store tokens are pewter and in perfect new condition will bring $10-15 with the right audience. The depiction of the packet boat on the Erie Canal has some crossover interest to collectors of Erie Canal memorabilia. Sibley, Lindsay & Curr evolved into Sibley's Department store, which remained in business in Rochester until the late 1990's. They were bought out by Kaufmann's of Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Wakefield restored medal is listed in "Medallic Portraits of Washington". I believe it is a Bastian Brothers (Rochester, N.Y.) product.
The 1939 World's Fair medal is also listed in the above reference. That may be either a Whitehead & Hoag or Osborne Register Co. product.
