Is there anything that you collect or an old item that you hold onto? Maybe a family heirloom or just something you were lucky to find?
I was just going to go with antiques - but, not everybody tries to grab old stuff like I do so it can be anything you collect as well that's just cool.
The oldest thing in my house is a hand made armoire that is a few hundred years old. Still in very good condition.
The second oldest thing is this chair that came over with a friend of my wife's family when they migrated to the US. I think its cool as hell plus it's really comfy.
The third old thing, which I like the most, is a map that was distributed to the poor during WW II so that they could keep track and follow the war as it happened. It was printed in 1943 and has the lanes that the war ships would take plus the amount of miles they would have to travel. Later versions of the map had victory and loss markers but mines printed right as we entered the war and only shows where we are going and how we are getting there.
So - what do you guys have? I want to know.
