The oldest thing i own, a Trotter-- driver on a sulky with the horse, it was made in Germany, it is clockwork which still works, is made of wood and metal and rubber well before plastics, my Grandfather gave it to me not long before he passed away, i would love to upload a photo, still will not work, also it is no. 5 with the jockey wearing red, yellow and blue colours, by the way my grandfather was a Jockey/ Trainer.

A nice piece of costume jewelry which belonged to my mother. My step-daughter wore it in her wedding this past April, and my daughter will wear it in her wedding in about 6 weeks. I will offer it to my son's fiancee to wear next year. Then it shall be retired forever!

Oh, no! Won't you have grandchildren?

@ jhharlan: There is a possibility the step-daughter may produce grandchildren. The daughter will not and very unlikely in the case of the son. I believe my bloodline stops with me.

We have a lot of antiques, I guess the only thing I can think of with a date right now is a 1924 model T Ford.

That would be worth a few bob JBD,is it still road worthy??

Its in pretty decent shape for not being restored. I pulled the engine because of a cracked cylinder wall. That's been bored and resleeved. It also needed a couple new bushings for the cam. I found two but had to make the third. Thankfully I've got a lathe. And also a Bridgeport mill

I have an etched glass cake plate my grandmother gave to me. I don't know how old is but probable at least as old as I am. My mother recently gave me a diamond necklace on a gold chain which she's had for 35 years.
