1973/79 Fender Stratocaster signed by both Eric Clapton and Kansas. Probably got older stuff lying around but that's one of my prominent ones.
If we're not counting the house itself then it's the trunk that my great great grandfather brought all his belongings over from Ireland in.
An old (like original) AK-47 bayonet from the early 50's. It was given to me by an Iraqi Army soldier. He told me we were best friends and that I should keep it.
One of the best gifts I've ever been given.

My 1976 Ibanez Blazer.
My father bought it brand new, and gave it to me when I was 14. So I am only the second owner of this beaut.
Not a picture of the one I own, but this is what it looks like.

Your name will carry on through generations, and will never be forgotten.
I have an old pocketknife that used to belong to my grandpa. No idea how old the knife is, but my grandpa was born in 1913.
Sadly, he died before I was born, so I never got to meet him. According to my older brother and everyone else who knew him, he was really cool.
A flint spear head I found on my property several years ago. A Native American culture expert estimated it was over 5000 years old and was carved by the Indians which settled into the Ohio Valley shortly after the last great Ice age.

Some roman gold coins i think are the oldest.
Don't sweat the details!!!
The house, itself. It was built in the 1890s. If I can't count the house, I have my great grandfather's violin, which is from the 1910s.
Then, the newest object I have in my house is, I think, this bottle of vodka.
A stuffed animal I've had since I was 5 or 6. I think its in storage somewhere
Oldest Posession in my Home,
Probably my Commodore 64 Gaming System (Lol, Still works).
Oldest thing in my familys posession, would have to be a silver shilling in my mums safety deposit box at the bank,
seen it once or twice when going there with her, its round, has a crest on one side kinda like it was stamped into a piece of Hot metal then left to cool. and has writing around the outside, with some wierd faded bloke on the other side.
if i can talk my mum into seeing it again ill get a picture.
googling an image wouldnt do it justice.

Actually, I think it's probably an old stand up cabinet radio that looks like it's from the 1920s that I inherited from my father who inherited it from his mother.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Probably this, it was manufactured may 20th 1943, its just the box and i'm going to eventually get a gasmask of that time period to put in there. I also have an old sword but I have no idea when it was made.
A coin from the Roman Empire, given to me by a friend of the family.
