I own my family's Land Surveying & Civil Engineering business, founded in 1927.

Either my grandfathers Ransom and Randolph dental cabinet or my J. D. Dougall and sons double barrel shotgun. Both made in the 1890's or so

I think it would be a Nolan Ryan rookie card because I don't know how old my grandfathers watch is...its one or the other.

I have a box of Arrow Heads which my dad picked up when he was a kid on the farm he grew up on in the 20's, so those are from roughly the early 1800's. after that, I have a stand up model Victorla crank up Phonograph, made it 1915, still works and looks new, it been in my family since it was new.

I make hand crafted pens on a lathe. Some woth hundreds of dollars. I have mammoth tusk from 10,000 years ago that I've made pens from. I also have 5,000 year old Irish Bog Oak wood that I have made pens from. I have all kinds of stuff like that, even a bench from the Wrigley Field outfield bleachers when they replaced them a few years ago. Just a hobby, but it's fun. Here is a picture of one of the Mammoth Tusk Ivory pens I made for a friend. It's a titanium gold Emperor pen dressed in Mammoth Ivory.

I like my Monts but wow, that pen is stunning.

THUMPER20X · 11-04-2009, 07:07 PM

My 57 Belair, 22,000 miles (3 appraisers confirmed this)
All original, absolute blast to drive.

heRS · 11-11-2010, 11:33 AM

Found some petrified wood while digging up my garden so that's got to be some pretty old stuff.
Aside from naturally occuring minerals and skeletal remains of wildlife, I have some of my grandparents stuff (wish I coulda got that 58 Biscayne 2 door Grandaddy used to drive) that is turn of the century stuff - books, furniture, pictures.
I have a couple of candle holders that I bet run back to the 1800s or earlier, turned black oak spindles with evil looking little brass monkey-demons nailed onto them.
