Nice! Looks like Kenmore is still around. Supposedly the Covid lockdowns were a boost to most indoor solitary hobbies, stamp collecting included.

Indoor hobbies and games.
I bought seven different "Trivial Pursuit" games and
two extra boxes of question cards for presents to
family members. Some of the younger set are getting
interested in boardgames.

There is a Vintage movement among young people. Traditional hobbies will never see the numbers of participants there were in the past, but they will soldier on!
A few years ago I was at an estate sale in a local house. At the end they were about to throw out 6 old bentwood chairs, 4 good and 2 repairable. I volunteered to haul them off! They hung out here for a while and were in the way, so I put them on Craigs List for $100.
A young couple in their 20s bought them. They were in love with Vintage and were doing their entire home in old furniture. Not only was it pretty and had history, but it was much sturdier than the press wood garbage that masquerades as furniture these days!
I instantly liked them! I invited them in to the house and showed them some of my stuff. We had beers! Great kids!

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
