Pointless Discussion Vol.4

We all have stuff. Some of our houses are filled with more stuff than others. Some of us are collectors of things.
What is the OLDEST item you own in your house ?

For me I'd have to say the oldest item in my house is a book that is dated "1880 something" (I'll have to dig it out and find out the exact date)

How about you, what's the oldest item you own (and don't say your wife ! She may just read this  )

My grandmother's silver.  It wasn't bought until 1930, but it was made in 1918.

I also have a couple of my grandfather's books.  He was 30 years older than my grandmother.  He was a pastor, so these books were printed in the 1800's.

Probably my grandfather's acoustic guitar.  He bought it in 1946 at Woolworths when he got back from WWII.  It's a Kay Kustom Kraft.

Hmm… my family inherited a lot of antiques from my grandpa's… I can't say with certainty, but I guess it would be a reed organ.

So it's between old books and old musical instruments... pretty cool.

DBF,
That reed organ is pretty cool - they're very expensive right now, new.

And not to complain but that's a bit fast for Chameleon... but a fun place to start exploring jazz...

The cabinet that I inherited from my grandparents.
This cabinet was made for the 25th anniversary of my grandparents.

I've got a fossil of part of some small creature, so that's gotta be old!  I've also got some old coins from about 1900.

We have an old (beat up) bible that we suspect is from the 1920 to 1930 era (But it has no date in it). I have my grandmother's old hour glass that cannot be any newer than the early 1960s. I have a piece of petrified wood that came from Egypt that has to be rather old.

I have done a little bit of coin collecting over the years and have a few from the late 1800's.
