Whats the oldest thing you own?

Curious what the oldest thing you own other than Diamonds, etc.

I was bored today looking though my photos and came across a birthday gift I gave my wife 3 years ago. She is half Egyptian so, thought this was a unique gift.

Authentic ancient Egyptian statue, this is around 700BC if I remember correctly. It came with a Cert. since real artifacts need to have this to be sold.

Don't have a pic of it but a pocket watch, with silver smith markings from 1790 ... Also in the inside cover are these round repair receipts from the early 1800's ...

I was going to say a leather jacket that was made in the 80's, but clearly that would be a loss.

My condo was made in 76?

I would have to say pics of grandparents and their siblings that were passed on to me . I have been scanning a lot of old pics to computer to pass on some day. Sure does bring back childhood memories.

What's the oldest thing I own?

Nothing much older than 80-100 years. I've got a 54 year old Plymouth in the garage that still sees some road time.

I have a 1901 English penny that I found sticking out of some cement at an old school in the UK.

Also on a school geography trip, I uncovered a fossil spiral, not sure how old it is, but other similar finds are about 300 million years old...
