Wow what a find! I would say the majority of stuff in my house is older than me too 😂  I have always thought there was something very very cool/awesome about holding something that was made a long time ago 🤷‍♀️  I am trying to think of the oldest treasure in my house right now, do you know what yours is? 

I agree!  Everything that we've bought we felt that we are holding on to it and preserving it for the future, as well as enjoying it so that's double bonus!  Most of the stuff we have is older than me or about the same age. Hahaha!

My oldest is a metronome from France 1838 and then my second oldest is a music book from 1882.

The oldest treasure in my house, is the house.. At 1880-1900.   My family got this farm in 1878.

That's pretty darn cool, wow!!  That it's been in your family's possession all this time, that is amazing!!  It's super easy to buy something old...you just buy it but to have something continuously owned, you can't make that happen.  It either is or isn't!

Thanks for the memory jog, Ron! I realize the oldest thing in my house is a small Egyptian faience ushabti ca. 350 BC. Like I said, it's easy to buy something old.
