Was helping cleaning on the backyard after house renovation. Helped several times before on clean up, but I come across an intersting item for the first time. A brush that is made in 1808 or 1888 in pennyslvania. Can't tell which year date because there is some "correction" on the label and the label little difficult to read. It appears to be a birthday gift to a person Hernderson (last name), forgot first name. I can go back and take pictues/scan the label if necessary.
What is your oldest possession item? :O |

The oldest thing I personally own is an M1 carbine from WWII. It was manufactured by Winchester, probably around 1942. I have a friend who owns an 1866 Winchester lever-action rifle, something that's been passed down through the family for a few generations.

Man, I've got nothing even close to being that old 
Oldest thing I own is probably my Commodore 64C. Don't know exactly when mine was built, but that model was introduced in 1986... |

I have a Fennings dictionary dated 1768 that was passed to me when my grandfather died, but I have no idea where he got it from. The entry for America mostly discusses the various claims to its discovery, and it makes no mention of Australia. |

Piece of Titanic Coal. I'll just go with 100 years old, even though I got it in 1996 when they did an expedition to bring some up. It is real from the wreck. |

The atoms in my body was made in the begining of the universe. All my items (and me) are just current, temporary, constructions of the same atoms.
Other then that I got a nice S&W revolver from my great granddad from before WWII. I found some old viking stuff in my backyard once, like some really old nails and such, but I lost it. I think my mother threw it out back when I moved away from home. |

Strictly speaking any atom that's not hydrogen was created in stars, so they've not been around since the beginning.

Indeed, I should have refered to elementary particles. But in the haste of posting during work hours, it was not that well thought out. |

Umm... there's some assorted books and jewelry I'm probably forgetting, though, too. That's just the first thing off the top of my head. |

Oldest thing I actually own, a small fossil Ammonite. 65+mil years old, bashed it out of a rock myself.
Second oldest thing is probably a copy of Robinson Crusoe from the 18th century (I think). |

I have a great grandad to thank for a gold Napolean 3rd 1863 (i believe - maybe 83) 20 franc piece apparently literally picked up while going over the top on the Western Front.
A WW1 bayonet - picked up after the war with his DMob mates earning bucks digging a shed up, why it was buried mystifies me.
A WW2 bayonet - owned and used in the war by him.
A Marching Stick bought for GGrandad and presented when he returned to his village after WW1
Strictly these are family owned, and staying that way, but im well proud of that man.
