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.

I love the architecture and sturdiness of old houses as long as they come without draftiness. Old gas lamp hardware is cool.

Oh, but draftiness adds to that old-timey feeling. :)
