Probably my Stella guitar that was made between 1920-1939. I am not sure of the year. If money counts I have some cash that dates back to the 1920s. I believe I have a title from 1919, but that's not a thing it's a printing like the money.
Not a whole lot, but that guitar is an oldie. I have a lotta records from the 50's and early 60's.

The 'oldest' thing I have? Is my life; I was born in 328 AD.

I have a few old hand tools from my grandfather that have patent or pat'd pending dates from before 1900 to the 1910's. I don't have any ancient coins or ones that are pre-1900.

It hink I have some cameras from about 1910-1920. I don't have any coins from any earlier than about 1940 or so.
I have some old electrical engineering manuals that my Grandfather gave me - I think they may be from 1900 or so.

It is funny how old things in North America are really young compared to other old things.
I went to an old University, in England. Yet the University I went to in Canada is considered an old or established university even though it was only established in 1966.
Older than me, but certainly not old.

A broken piece of stained glass from the Gibson Chapel, which was my family's chapel in Barnesville, OH and was recently torn down. Estimates from the family tree throw this in the mid-1800's. It, and its property, haven't been in the family for a long time.
