.
Oldest personal item I own now is my rifle....made by Stirling (they used to make machine guns)

"oldest thing would be our yorkshire stone patio"
hope you keep an eye on it, yorkshire stone tends to get nicked
you must have noticed the dug up and tarmaced over holes in some streets in Leeds, unless you live in the posh part ;p |

Not the oldest thing I own, but a pack of cards given to me by Tommy Cooper about 40 years ago at a magic Circle event at Harrogate. I was a magicians assistant and following a slighlty disturbing incident was greeted off stage by the great man. I've treasured them ever since |

A pair of airline seats from what appears to be the British Airtours Tristar runway overrun at Leeds Bradford in 1985 according to serial numbers. They were installed in 1975.
They make a great talking piece for sure. |

Not the oldest but probably the most interesting (to certain anoraks) is a comprehensive history of the building I live in.
Everything from original Victorian architect drawings, construction invoices and receipts, fairly primitive photographs during construction and title deeds through records of (we think) everyone we've rented homes or offices to over the years along with more photographs of the various redecorations, renovations and the people involved.
No intrinsic value to anyone outside the family but something each generation has contributed to. |

I have a collection of Superman in Action comics from the 1960's. I have antique pieces that are older but I have a connection with the comics so they're rich in nostalgia. |

Owning a time machine means I've got shit loads of old stuff!
I think my favourite old thing is the little old man I keep in my cupboard. I found him in the Farrah isle of my local Greenwoods, slightly dazed and confused.
I keep him to make me hot beverages and on an evening I like to stroke his chin. |

A childs sewing machine from the 60's and a doll my dad bought me in 1963 from Ireland when he did a work exchange experience. The elastic bands inside are all dried up but i love her to bits |

i have two favourite "old" things ... one is a bullet found on the field where the battle of Franklin happened in Tennessee, and the other is a small victorian tea caddy which belonged to my Grandma. Both have no real monetary value, maybe £100 or so for the caddy, but they both remind me of very special people in my life |

I have a campaign chest that was made for my great great grandfather (I think) and has travelled round the world with various members of my family. The wood is mellowed and aged and it's marked in places, but I love it as it not only holds the stories of generations of my family, but it also always reminds me of my grandmother who I adored. |

"A teddy that is over 50 years old and
a full size rocking horse thats about the same age.
Full size? What does that constitute? Same size as a horse? "
Unlikely as it sounds it's hard to envisage another interpretation of 'full size'. |

I have some old british coins of various dates, and also some sheet music which i found in the loft.
Would love to own some genuine Roman coins, as i love that era.

I have a chestnut stool with turned legs that I made when I was in school aged 15, probably worthless to anyone else, and its very ugly, as each leg is slightly different as I wasnt very good on a lathe, but for personal reasons its probably one of my most prized posessions. |
