Those medals are pretty awesome, nice finds!
 
nice assortment of finds!!
 
You're right, that's an Odd Fellows item. My grand dad was an Odd Fellow and that's about all I know about the lodge.
 
Nice finds congrats and HH!

The heart shaped item is also a suspender buckle, similar to this one. Don in SJ has the patent info on this. It was patented sometime in the 1850s.
