Default What's The Oldest Thing You Own?

For me it's a few albums of old stamps that was passed down to me by my late grandfather that go back as far as 1850.

A Remginton Auto 5 (its serial number dates it somewhere between 1915 and 1929)

But my father has old guns that were given to him as a gift, that are from the Span-Am war, and the Revolutioinary War. Talk about old.

I think I have a coin from about 1860 or so but it is pretty worn. I inherited a coin collection and don't know much about it. The oldest one in good condition is 1885.

And a spanish-american war uniform, but I haven't a clue when that was. Sorry, not a history major.
