What's the oldest thing you own?

Following in Thomas Rigby’s footsteps, I thought about some of the stuff I own, and just how old some of it is. There’s a lot, especially my cameras which are about 28 years old. But really old? Hmm…

Let’s see:

  1. A polar bear pendant carved from a piece of wooly mammoth tusk.
  2. A 1956 Steiff bear is probably the oldest thing I own.
  3. My mother’s wedding ring.
  4. A hat band presented to from the Rear Admiral of HMS Plymouth.
  5. My first ever concert ticket, from the early 70s.

I’m sure I have a lot more than this but I’ll just stick to these top five for now. And you, what’s the oldest thing you own?
