What's your oldest possession?

I love antiques and collectibles. As a matter of fact, just today I spoke to someone I happen to know who is opening just such a shop next month and has asked me to work PT for him. The oldest piece I currently own is a personal item I have actually carried around since childhood. It is my Bible. This year it turned 30 years old.

my oldest possession has got to be my old Compaq Presario desktop PC. I got it in 1997/1998 so its not really that old, but its the oldest thing that I personally own. This thing was so old and terribly slow, but it was the very first experience with a computer and it was this piece of machine that allowed me to learn how to program.

Wow! it could be worth so much now. Why did you say that Australia is a young country? I have my bike when I was 2 years old. I know it doen't have value but I treasure them because it was my favorite toy when I was a kid says mom.

The oldest things I have are books; I have one on some obscure religious topic printed in 1830 My favorite, though, is a Mark Twain novel, printed in 1911, and signed by the author. Then again, I do have some fossils found in a phosphate mine that date back to before the last ice age, when Florida was covered with water. Now that's old.

The oldest stuff that we own is a ukulele made by our Grandma's Brother way back in 1957. It's an heirloom already. Our uncles even want to have the ukulele because it was made by their father :)

I think mine is a My Little Pony that's more than 20 years old.

i think the oldest possession i have is my doll. I have this doll since i was like 2 years old. Am turning 25 now and i still have this doll with me. I display it in our house. It still looks good, although the doll's shoes are gone already.

Thats true about Australia not being very old. I do have a few old belongings though. The oldest that I am aware of is a sea chest. It is from 1880, the Saratoga period. This Sea Chest belonged to my late husbands grandfather. He had brougt it all the way from England to Africa, in the Boar War, then to Australia. I also have very old books, including a dictionary. They originally belonged to my late husbands grandmother. I think they are from the 1930'3. I have my Grandmother's birthday book she compiled, and that is from 1917.

my oldest possession is one of my shirt which i have bought 11 years back in 1996. It is one of my favourite shirt and I still wear it. It has not lost the fabric structure and even its color is still intact.

The oldest item I own is a book my grandfather gave me when his health started to get bad. He did the same thing for my sister. It was an old book from 1883 about someone my grandfather admired greatly. I cherish it not for its age, but because of who it came from.

Hi. The oldest thing we have in our house is probably a long wooden glory box, a wedding present to my parents, back in the 1980's, and thats how old it gets in our house, I love old stuff, but havent yet recieved any from my grand parents or family members as yet, which I know they have wardrobes full of old antiques and pass downs from earlier generations... Maybe one day soon I will get something

I have two things in my apartment that I consider antiques, though I'm not sure which of them is actually older. The first is an old sewing machine that is built into a table on hinges, so that you can hide it and use it as a table when you want to, or bring it out to use the sewing machine. It is an electric machine, but I think the motor may have been added onto it. I saw a very similar looking one in an antique shop, without the table, selling for $300! The other is a vanity that came from my fiance's old house. The stool is broken, but the main vanity part is in remarkably good shape. I have no idea how old it is, but it belonged to his grandmother before (and possibly was handed down to her, I'm not sure). The mirror, in particular, makes me think it's pretty old. It's one of those mirrors that just doesn't look like the ones we have now...

I have a sunbonnet that belonged to my great-grandmother. I feel very lucky to have it. I never liked antiques or old things. The older I am getting the more I am starting to appreciate antiques. I think it has to do with the fact I'm working on my family tree and it has made me interested in the way people lived a long time ago.

The most precious antique kind of thing in our house is a gold chain. My father's mother and my mother's aunts were friends. My grandmother was livingin Singapore adn my grand-aunt from mother's side was in India. While coming home from Singapore once, she presented her friend a very beatiful gold chain. She presented it to her neice. Her neice married her friends son (my mother and father), and my mother presented it to me. This peice of gold cahin is very dear to me..
