What is the oldest object in your room?

[Morae]

For fun I thought about this a while ago. I realized there were very few old things in my room. Of the few old items that I could find, the oldest would most likely be my radioclock! I remember my dad bought it for me around the time I started going to school for the first time at about age of six (I think). I'm nearly 30 years old now.

I have some coins from the 1800's, and a tank fragment from a German WW2 tank that my grandfather blew up.

I have a Winchester on the wall passed down from ancestors long dead.

My grandma made my dad a needle point of a cat scan. He gave it to me a couple years ago. It's a horizontal bisection through the eyes/nose but looks like a vertical representation of a face. (Eyes look like where they should be [in a cartoon face, they're too high in reality] and the nasal cavity opens a space where the nose should be, and the medulla+cerebellum look a lot like a smile where the bisection runs) Really cool picture. It's maybe 35 years old.

a cabinet I use to store books and other stuff. It used to be part of a giant (like in all around the wall and around a corner) cabinet ensemble my parents had in our old house. I really like the aged look of it and have taken at least this one with me, even if I have to screw it to the wall so it doesn't topple over.

Me? I'm fairly old. Most things in the room are younger then me. There might be a few books that are actually printed before I was born, could be them.

Some book from bookcase behind me. Many of them belonged to my grandfather. No idea which one is the oldest, as they are hundreds of them and I never checked them all. I saw ones as old as 1950 though.

Some of the ceramic figurines made by my grandfather in mid XX century.

[Super Kami Dende]

A Condom ;_; J/k who actually uses Condoms

In seriousness though a bunch of Valiant Comics from 1993.

I have an old pocket knife that belonged to my grandpa on my mom's side of the family. He died a year before I was born, so I never got to meet him. But according to my older brother and everyone else who knew him, he was awesome.

I have no idea how old the knife is, but it's pretty worn out. My grandpa was born in.....1914 if I remember right and died in 1984 (and I've been told he was the type who never threw stuff away), so the knife could be from anywhere in that range.

edit: I also still have my grandma's Bible somewhere, but I have no idea how old it is. She was born in 1912.

In my room probably a vase from the Qing Dynasty from about ~XVII - XVIII.

In my entire house? No idea. Plenty of old stuff, for example Cartel watch from XV.
Also shitloads of souverniers that my Grandpa gave me from the WW2, and many other things from my Family line like paintings, watches, figures, sculptures etc.

The Bible, the original.

Or a Dylan LP from 64.

I just redecorated my office/spare bedroom....so it would actually be the bed frame. Had it about 6 years.....does that count :-P

[Ornerybear]

well in my room, i think the oldest is our 1930's tiffany's end table lamp. In my house, the oldest thing is probably something from my great grandfather. i know we have a WW1 french artillery shell that he decorated with a nail and hammer while in the trenches after he got shot down.

[Fencers]

Probably books. Some of the books in here we bought from used book stores and they are like from the 50s and stuff.

[Kivana]

Me then it has to be my SEGA Megadrive.

[Ave07]

Probably my bed.

My grandfather gave me his bible he got on his communion when I did my communion, so that bible is probably from the mid-1800's or something.
