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.

Old hardware or architecture in houses is very cool. On my building, if you look at any kitchen wall from outside, you can see a little bitty door that leads to under the sink. Not sure if it would have been for something like coal delivery or what, exactly, but kind of interesting. :)

Ooooh, I love little details like that!
