What is the oldest thing you own?

This was also her snuff can and spoon. With some old Hot Wheels from my grandfather...Dont really know the year is was made, but its old as hell.

I still have my high school gym shorts. 1971-1974

 

I have a copper engraving picture of a town in Cornwall, England, from 1787.

 

I was thinking, old tools, possibly some family heirloom but thanks to Chris4x4 I had a no brainer... these were from my two grandfathers, found in Kentucky and Pennsilvania. They both had the same Ideas, a farmer would plow his field, it would rain washing away loose soil, the next day they would walk the field and found these. My dad made the frame. Good memories of my grandfathers, thanks. Kevin

 

I have a 25th anniversary party invitation from my great-grand parents' 25th anniversary party for Saturday 27 June, 1889.

My old stuff isn't ancient, but, interesting anyway.(to me)
I have an early 1900's model No 2A Brownie camera.

Here is an issue of Howdee Doodee from 1950 and a couple of 50's era cast iron cap guns.

 

WWI Swiss Army knife.

knife Sharpening stone 1890-1900 still use it too


and a few other things

 

A treasure chest (a small one, about one foot by 8 inches) passed down in my family since 1767.

 

I gotta see a pic of this!! WOW!!! awesome

 

I'll take one soon. It's upstairs and I'm too lazy.

 

Subbin'!

 

Damn...makes me kinda wish my family held onto more stuff. The oldest thing I have and still use is an Igloo lunch box that my mom gave to my dad for his first day at General Motors about 35 years ago. It may not be OLD, but it's older than me. I'll give it to my son one day.

It means a lot to me just because I use to see him carry it in and out of the house when I was just a few years old. He carried that lunchbox to a place that he hated with all of his heart for 30 years so that he could provide for my mom and I.

 

Haha! Great story! Send him some good vibes from me, that's a true hero right there.
