You really made me think with your question, as we have a lot of old things. First what crossed my mind was my grandma's bedroom furniture that she left to me and which was given to her as some sort of dowry, and it was already old when she got it. As she got married somewhere at the beginning of 20th century *(in between 1910 and 1920),* my guess would be it would be over 100 years old but I don't know how old exactly. 

Then I thought it might be a big round dinning table that I inherited from my mom. But in the end, I believe nothing is that old as two houses that we own. One is our summer house built somewhere at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. It's an old stone house at the main square of a small Mediterranean town my husband inherited, and which belonged to his family the past centuries. The stage of the house at the moment is very poor and it needs renovation. The struggle with it is, it has been proclaimed as protected cultural monument of the country, and therefore we need a special *(and costly)* allowance from country conservative institute for every single thing we want to do on the house. 

The other one, is a small country cottage placed in the continental part of the country, in the countryside not far from our capital city. It's about 200 years old wooden ground floor farmhouse that my father bought about 60 years ago. Its specificity is that my father disassemble it into parts, and moved it on a hilly part of the land that he inherited from his mom in the above described countryside. Then he build *(all by himself, and with little help of his cousins and nephews)* a new ground floor with concrete and bricks, and reassemble the bought cottage placing it on top of it, as first floor. As he covered the ground floor with wooden boards, it looks like the whole cottage is wooden although it's not. So, half of the house is 60 years old, while the other half *(upper part)* is around 200 years old. And it's amazing how he managed to make them to fit together.

My dad has letters written in the 70s

We own a house that may be 200 years old. I have dug up some clay pipes in the garden that may be pretty old too. I have some coins that go back well over 100 years. I wonder what things from today people will keep for that long. "Here's your great grandfather's iPhone!"

Thank you for addressing this topic. My goal is to encourage others to share stories (family history and life lessons) here on Hive for future generations. Discussing family heirlooms are just the types of stories I enjoy.

While I have a love for things (and stories) of old, I do not own many that are much older than myself. While we do have some childhood photos of grandparents and an aluminum milk pitcher from the "ice box" days that would help to keep the milk cold when you took it out of the ice box (prior to electronic refrigerators). This belonged to my paternal grandmother. My father said he grew up with an ice box in their home, so it probably dates back to the early 1940s. Other than that, I have a few collectibles (stamps and coins) that date back to the late 1800s.
