We lost our dad early hours of last Sunday. He weren't into the football much in the last half of his life due to acute mental illness, but he was definitely a Charlton fan born and bred and it was nice to find these tucked away in his stuff today. Not too sure if they have any significant historical value or not, or even when they were from (dad could well have quite likely took himself down to the club shop, just to buy a club sweat band, in more recent years, as he was inclined to do things like that), but my brother and I would love for the museum to have them if interested. If not, no worries at all -

Sorry for your loss Rob. Pretty sure the sweat band is late 80s, as I had a couple of those when I used to play my Dad at badminton in the sports hall over the top of the Lewisham Centre.

I have the white metal badge, and I did have the sweat bands as well (long gone now)
Don’t forget the Valley Memorial Garden, where you can scatter your Father’s ashes if that is what you want to do (my Father’s ashes are up there) - link is here https://www.cafc.co.uk/club/fans/memorial-garden

May his memory be a blessing.
The badges are very nice. Never seen the diamond one before. The others are 70s/80s, not too rare but delighted to have them
The sweatband is a classic. Probably 1980s.
Not got one in the museum and would look great in the Fans room with the silk scarves and rosettes.
Thanks so much.
Would you like me to stick them in the post? I'm back at work on Thursday so can do it then 👍
Just post them to the museum c/o The Valley
You’ll get them at some point!
Maybe someone can collect them.

As @KillersBeard pointed out if you replace the backslash with a decimal point you're pretty much spot on for today's prices.
