Except for pictures and antique furnitures, do you own anything that is very very old? Me, I still have old stuff usually toys. I have some 1976 Matchbox, a nintendo family computer and some more toys from the eighties. All still work and is in A1 condition.

I have some records from the sixties. I also have a key that predates the twentieth century, but I don't know exactly how old it is. I have a first edition copy of Peter Pan (written in 1911). And I have a flying eagle penny from 1857. (The flying eagle pennies were the first small American coins, and were replaced by the Indian head pennies).

Wow your coin is very old and rare. I believe my oldest coin is from 1908 only. That's great man.

yes, i still have some. one would, i think, be a very old calculator which i received as a birthday gift in 1979. it is still working up to now and i just kept it inside my drawer. one old thing i still have is a red dress which i wore to a christmas party in 1980. it still looks so new but ... u guessed it right, does not fit me anymore. i am keeping it because the cloth is very good and i would like my daughter to wear it at the proper occasion.

I got some shirts and underwears (LOL!) that I started using since the 80's. They are not in the best condition, but still serviceable. The underwear I try not to wear, but the shirts I love sleeping with.
When I was in high school I loved philately, and I just recently found my stamp book. I have stamps which are from the 60's. Maybe one day, they'll be worth a fortune.

i have a good amount of things as i have the hobby of collecting old things. i have two war medals of first world war, which i got from my maternal grand father. he participated the great war. he gifted me those medals.
i have a glass made of silver, which was gifted to me once i was born. i always keep it with extreme care and love.
most important is that i have some books which are very old.i have few books which were published in 1876. i have the assam bengal gazettier published in 1901. i have few old silver coins also. few of them are from mughal era and of 16th century. thats all.
in my house among the living beings, i am the oldest. because, i am the most aged person there.
