Question

WindAtMyBack · Accepted Answer

I have some things from the mid-late 1800s. There may be some older stuff but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I have some mid 1800s coins.
I have a photo that I think is an ambrotype. That dates it around 1850-1860.
I have a number of tools from the 1800s. They were my grandfather's.
I have some completely beat up binoculars from WW1. I think they are French.
I have several newspaper articles from the early 1900s. This was all family stuff.
i have two pocket watches and some jewelry from the 1800s to early 1900s. Nothing valuable.
I have hundreds of pictures my dad took during WW2 (military but not combat)

I have a cast iron penny bank from 1875, it's actually worth some money. I also have a world map that appraisers have looked at but aren't quite sure of the year. They said it could be worth a few thousand dollars or might be worth a few dollars. The only way they can find out is by taking it out of the picture frame but I don't want them to do that. It's obvious that it was professionally framed years ago.

The oldest thing in my house would be me. Besides that I have a leather motorcycle jack that I have had like forever. I have had it for close to 30 years. It's older then that though because I picked it up used from an old friend.
