I’ve got numerous Japanese prints dated from the 15th century, as well as porcelain and various tansus and hibachis circa 1700s. My father-in-law collected most of it from trash piles in the 70s. My favorite is a real sword probably from the 1800s-nothing fancy, but a remarkable tool with incredible balance and still sharp enough to shave.

I am a manager at a homeless shelter. Last year, a nice man donated a can of hominy that had expired in 1974. I kept it for myself.
