What is the oldest thing you own?

[Nemus]

Mine, as far as I'm aware until I go through all the stamps, is a 136 year old dutch Hymnal

"Het boek der Psalmen nevens de Gezangen bij de Hervormde Kerk van Nederland."

Children's feeding chair that my grandfather used when he was born. Given to his parents in 1917! Still in mint condition.

A piece of chain that comes off a grave in Brixton cemetry. Think it was from a soldier or someone who died in 1914/1917.

Well, I think 4.6 Billion is the oldest rock on earth....

I am not sure if I posted in the other thread...

The oldest 'thing' I own is my great great great (I am unsure of how many greats...) grandfather's ceremonial dress sword presented to him in 1887 as he was the first Commanding Officer of the Cape Town Highlanders...

The Journal of Lt.-Col. John Scott - South African Military History Society - Journal

samilitaryhistory.org

This is the inscription on the sword:

"Presented to John Scott. Major Commanding the Cape Town Highlanders, by the Officers, Non-Commissioned-Officers and men of the Regiment, as a mark of their Esteem and Recognition of His Services, as Captain Commanding the Corps since its formation. Cape Town, December, 1887."
