I inherited these devices many years ago and, due to age, have finally gotten around to researching just what they are. Seems like this forum is the place to do so. Here are some pictures of a few of the parts-in-envelopes trays. I will continue to post photos of a variety of devices that I can't identify and see what I can learn about them.

Envelopes labeled with assorted small parts names (presumably with that part inside). sorted by camera brand
 
Hard to say but possibly spare parts for a camera repair business? I see one box labeled “Nikon F, F2, FE/FM” and a bunch of envelopes: could be any sort of small parts, eg. gaskets or mirrors or screens
 
Sorry - wrong pictures above - you're right that they're definitely small camera parts. I meant to post the picture below. I will follow up with closer shots to make the devices identifiable.

Equipment related to film movies - most likely at amateur level - forms at least part of it.
 
Looks like you inherited a camera repair business. But you probably already know that.

Are you planning on selling the items?
 
Sorry - wrong pictures above - you're right that they're definitely small camera parts. I meant to post the picture below. I will follow up with closer shots to make the devices identifiable.

Top row, 2nd from left: That is a film splicer that uses pre-perforated splicing tape. Image is too low rez to tell movie format; most likely 16 or 35mm.

Top row 3rd from left: A Yashica film editor/viewer; most likely Super 8mm, but some could be switched between Regular 8mm and Super 8mm.

2nd row from top, 2nd and 3rd over; Viewmaster slide blanks and next to that the Viewmaster cutter and mounting press. You need a Viewmaster 3D 35mm camera to shoot the images, then you cut and mount them with the press.

NOTE: the Viewmaster viewer for this kit is on the 3rd shelf from the top, 2nd place in.

That’s what I can identify...

PS. In the other photos, I see a lot of rubber belts for movie projectors; most likely Super 8mm type.
