As for me... I have a late 1800's Elgin railroad pocket watch passed down through family members from my grandfather. It is the centerpiece of all of my collectibles.

It’s a long story.

How fun! I’d never thought about it before.

Some old letters from the Civil war I suppose. Or my grandparents coffee mill from about 1890.

Oldest thing I own in a portable AM/FM/shortwave radio I got in 1980. I still use it everyday. Its so old it only goes up to 1600 on the AM band, instead of 1700. But I have no interest in the handful of stations between 1600,and 1700, anyway.

What Is The Oldest Thing You Own?

I received a copy of Bruce Lee's book "Tao of Jeet Kun Do" brand new in 1975. Still have it, and it's in pretty good condition considering I was a kid when I got it.
