Oldest possession

I've got a solid silver Indian rupee, that's 100 years older than I am, given me by my uncle.
I flip it occasionally to make decisions, as some of you may be unfortunate enough to have experienced.

A bill of sale for one of my great great so on and so forth grandfathers, i had it in a frame above my front door in my old house, I've not found a good enough spot for it here though, it serves as a reminder for when I feel hard done to, that life could be so much worse |

A dinner service that my ex's great aunt was given as a wedding present about 70 years ago. It only comes out on very special occasions
Some of my dads vinyl from when he was a DJ but he doesn't know I have them  |

I have a musical doll that was given to me on my first birthday, that the possession I've owned the longest.
In terms of possessions that are proper old im not entirely sure cause I have many but one I can date is an antique wasp waist mannequin from the late 1800s. Im slowly getting my hands on clothes from the same era for her to wear.
I also have wood from the petrified forest in Egypt and a bead of Whitby jet that belonged to my nan. |

A photograph of my Dad circa 1930
My Grandmother used to tell me the story of getting the picture done and my Dad hadn't been very well behaved. He had been told off and received a slap to the legs hence he looks quite solemn in the picture.
The story is equally important as the picture |

My collection of Stephen King novels... most of them were inherited from my step dad so all of them - apart from It, Carrie, and two of my three copies of Salem's Lot - are from the 70s or 80s. The oldest probably being a copy of Night Shift from a very very very early run and that was published in 78. |

There's stuff in my shed that belonged to my grandparents, being pragmatic and unsentimental I will most likely dump it when I downsize after my kids have left home |

"I have a family christening gown made in 1870. It's been worn by 5 generations including my great gran, gran, mum, myself and my children. "
Bloody hell and I thought I came from a tight family... |

I though this was an 'oldest profession' thread ..
In terms of age, I have an old antique jar that's a few hundred years old (if we're excluding fossils etc which are millions of years old), in terms of stuff that I've owned for the longest time, I have some old toys from when I was a baby up in the attic - including the old Fisher Price pull along telephone that EVERYONE had back in the day |
