Random LJ Scavenger Hunt: Day Nine

[pyjamapants]

Day nine is your day to post the oldest thing you own.

I was really, really hoping mine would be the piano, but I tracked down the serial number. Alas, the piano is from 1952.

So, the oldest thing I own is debatable, as we do not yet entirely own our house... But it was built in 1900, which easily makes it the oldest thing I (we) own.

This relic at the top of our stairs is from when our house had gas lamps.

Gas lamp bracket is splendid. But did the oldest thing have to be man-made? Most folks have the odd fossil lying around, if not the dozens of fossils and rocks that lie gather dust on my window sills.

No, it didn't have to be man-made. But any rocks I've collected over the years are still packed up.
