Like @Becky1951 I have a 100 year old Singer Sewing Machine, mine is from early 1900's. My grandma had in electrified in the 1930's. I also have her silver nutcracker, the same age.

I have rocks, they must be millions years old!

Sea encrusted amphora -- Roman or Phoenician. 2,000 years if Roman - 3,000 years if Phoenician.

 

[Pepper]

Oh, thanks for reminding me, @ElCastor ! I have original Roman coins from...........a long time ago. I'd check, but I currently don't know where they are.

My wife has a collection of fossils. I believe the oldest is around 350 million years old.

I believe their was a similar thread a couple of years ago. At that time I mentioned an object, I believe. Then I saw others mentioned photos. My mother (who would be 115 if she was still living) had what looks like a professionally taken photo of a man in a hat, who I believe was related to her somehow. He was so handsome that he could have been in the movies. I now have that photo and it is probably the oldest thing in my home.

Prove it .....

 

[PamfromTx]

Two bookshelves with glass doors that belonged to hubby's grandfather; they must be close to 100 years old. And the diamonds on my first set of wedding rings are over 100 years old; belonged to hubby's grandmother. I can't think of anything else. Oh, hubby has an OLD dictionary still in excellent condition that belonged to his grandfather as well.

I feel like I've already answered this question in the past.

 

[IrisSenior]

I have petrified poo...so how old can that be and I have lapidary rocks too.

 

[RadishRose]

An old vase or pitcher painted with maroon roses that belonged to my grandmother.
