Do you collect antiques ?

I try, but my wife keeps setting the 'junk' out by the curb.

Oldest thing we have is a percussion gun from probably the 1830s

pic of it here, in case you're interested. It's an underhammer rifle, which already makes it unusual.

(if you go to the site, the Lancaster gun on the photo album is a repro my hubby uses).

I have some knitting books almost as old, though.
