This summer my dad brought over his grandmother's old clock that is over 100 years old. I think it's from Germany? Not sure though.

I'd be intrigued to see pictures of it, if you don't mind sharing. (Make sure you don't leave geolocation data if you upload pictures!)

I've got a few random bits and pieces that belonged to various grandparents. I recently revived some old kitchen cutting boards that I only then found out belonged to my wife's grandmother, so they are 40+ years old. We have a pocket watch inscribed with initials we can't be sure of but think they are from my wife's great-uncle (or maybe great-great-uncle, we can't be certain) that is dated 1903. And then there are a few older coins, like a couple of silver dollars that date back to the 1880s. When I found those I thought they would be worth a lot of money but they aren't.

I am not real sure what is the oldest, but probably the Victrola that was my husband's grandfather's. Also have my grandmother's cedar chest and cuckoo clock from Germany. Lots of very old family photos too.

Probably the teddy bear that I have owned for long as I can remember. The name is Goldy, and he's a dog. You can never get too old for a teddy bear, no matter how old you are.
