What's the oldest thing you own?
I have a teddy bear I was given by my grandparents when I was born.
Her nose is worn and one eye sticks out since a wrestling incident with my brother but I cant imagine not having her. |

A very old China teddy bear money box.
It's been glued back together more times than I can remember. But its the most sentimental and oldest possession I have. Given to me from my father.  |

mine is also a teddy brought for me when I was about 2... from a small teddybear shop in Windsor... he's called Windsor... his head has been sewn back on many times.. most his fur has been rubbed off. Most of the time he lives in a fireproof box with a few other keepsakes. But I do get him out and hold him when upset or stressed.

Yep I've got my Grandad's medals too and I too will eventually get round to having them framed.
Aside from that there's an old chair that my great Uncle used to sit in that I think is 19th Century.
Oldest thing I've owned from new though is my teddy bear that was given to me the day I was born so is 52 years young!! |

That's a lovely heartwarming story, but for some reason I'm reminded of "Butch's" watch in Pulp Fiction.  |

I've got a Times Atlas which is more than a hund_ed years old. It's not in very good condition but the maps are fascinating to pore over from an historical perspective. I used to have an oblong fragment of ancient Egyptian pottery which was thousands of years old and had been mounted in gold as a pendant but I sold that for a pittance when I was a single mum and needed the money. |

A clock I bought a friend. She asked for it as a Christmas present when we were teens. I don't see her but have the clock ticking. Its indestructible. Been knocked all over. But stil standing. |

The oldest thing that is specifically mine is a bear called John Ted.
The oldest family heirloom are our double gates. Constructed by my great-grandfather from the remains of my great-great-grandfathers fishing boat. |

I've got a few old possessions which to most people would be worth very little but to me are absolutely priceless.
One is a soft toy panda that I was given as a baby. It has a handmade pink dress that my gran made for it. It is pretty threadbare and has been stitched up a few times where the seams split.
Another is a ring that used to be my gran's. She got married in the 1930's and her original wedding ring was really thin. My grandad wanted her to have a "proper" wedding ring when they could afford one. Mum has the original wedding ring and the newer one was given to me when she died and I never take it off.
Lastly I have a ring that belonged to my gran's sister. It's from the 1920's and is silver set with marcasite. It was given to me because I was the only person in the family who it would fit and could carry it off because it is quite chunky. I wear it occasionally when I'm going out. |
