What's the oldest thing you own?

[Legolamb]

OK, we're all into shiny new things otherwise there'd be no MR.
But what's the oldest thing you own?
Mine was (I can't find it, which started me thinking about this thread) a diplomystus fish fossil that was dated from the Eocene Age (45 million years).

 

[ezzie]

heh.....that's hard to beat!

honestly, my house. it was built in 1960.

i don't have old stuff.

 

[miloblithe]

Hmmm.

I have my great-grandfather's Bible, from about 1890. A Georgian tea box from the late 1800s. Some Russian Kopek coins from the 1800s. I think the oldest of those is from 1812, which I thought was an interesting year.

 

[nitynate]

I have one of those fish fossils too.
Its pretty old I think.
My dad wont let me touch it.

Yes, but do you own them or simply residing on them for the time being?

If I had the time machine from the other thread I could goback in time and easily beat the original poster's item...where is that flux capacitor????

Our house is pretty old, but it's still 'owned' by the bank!

This one made me think, some. Guess it would be our king size waterbed and my library which have been in four different countries where we've lived.

[bartelby]

My house was built in 1901. So I guess that would be it...

 

[Lovesong]

I have a diamond ring (it's been in my family) that belonged to my great-great-grandmother. It's from the mid-1800's, though it's family history is known since 1871.

[SuperCompu2]

I have a collection of coins stored away from the early 1800s, but I'm sure we must have something a little older than that.
