Oldest I personally own is a silver dollar my grandpa gave me when I was born that was made in 1891. There's one made in 1991 too that goes with it.

A Catechism from 1900.
A glass bowl and pitcher that are quite odd in colour and design that I think mum told me was given to her mother by her grandmother.

a handwritten journal from the 1800's by a young girl who was on a transatlantic voyage. She was 17 when she wrote it and I was 17 when I found it at a flea market. I opened it up and she had the same first name as me, which is not a common name at all. :shock:

I can't exactly remember what it is, although I know it is a cuddly/soft toy.

I own a coin from the 4th century AD. Says "Constans" and has the face of an emperor on it, probably Constantine, and on the back are two angels facing each other.

An old Roman silver coin is the oldest manufactured object in my possession. I've also got an old Welsh coin from the 1600's or 1700's, and assorted U.S. coins from the 1800's.

Also a handful of antique or relic rifles from the late 1800's and early 1900's.

I've probably got some other antiques and things floating around that I've forgotten about.

I love old things :)
