Slow Friday afternoon. Mine is my little league jersey that I kept through years of highschool, college and many moves after that! I get a super big kick out of my oldest son wearing it and the younger 2 boys to follow. It’s made of that thick polyester material that could withstand an A-bomb so I’m not worried about it getting wrecked.
Think about it for a minute. Something that was yours first and you still have it????
Pretty neat!
You got a picture of yourself wearing it as a kid?
It would be really cool to see the two side by side.

I do! Old polaroid of my dad (coach) and my 2 brothers all in our fancy uniforms.. Pretty funny stuff.
Depends how you look at it. I have a Fed Duck Stamp collection that starts back in 1934 that my Grandfather gave me about 20 years ago. I also have an old sports jersey from back in my child hood along with other sports patches from when I was just a tike!
My wife. 
And a youth hockey jersey. Pretty funny story about that. We sold it over 10 years ago at a garage sale. Last year I went to a garage sale a few miles from my moms house and I saw a jersey with my last name on it. After talking to the woman it turns out is was mine and she bout it from my mom. I bought it back and it just hangs in the closet.

I got a united states war catalog from 1912 for oldest given and oldest owned has to be my snoopy fishin pole from when I was like 2 or 3.
I wish I could say my foreskin. Dad used it for crappies.

When my mom passed away last year, my dad went through the attic and found a leather belt with my name stamped on it. I took it home and gave it to my 3 yo son. He loves the thing and wears it anytime he has belt loops on his pants.
I was given that belt when I was probably 5 or 6.
That’s cool. I still have my Webelos shirt with everything on it. Not sure, but I am guessing I was probably around ten years old then. Not sure where the last 42 years went….
My Grandpa’s 1st year Model 12 Winchester 20 gauge.
He shot THOUSANDS of rounds thru it and it dropped my very first Grouse….

Wow that should be on your wall.
I have my one of my grandmother’s hymn book from when she was doing missionary work with my grandfather for 10 yrs. in Papua New Guinea in the 1940’s.
I might have the oldest. My Great grandfather at age 94 gave me a 1876 silver dollar for mowing his yard. At that time I was 12 yrs. old and thought he must of really like the job I did. I still have it, but it’s a wonder why I didn’t spend it on fishin lures. Thanks Alfred and RIP.
ME …….. 
Moved around to much to have anything older.
When my son was two yrs. old, we went to a flower store and bought a Philidendron for mommy. He’s 34 now and the plant still sits on top of the fridge today.
I have my dad’s very first gun he ever bought with his own money… he worked at his grandpas hardware store as a kid, it’s a little .22 bolt single shot. It hangs on the wall in my mancave
I have Grandpa’s 1926 hunting license. The limit on ducks was 25 per day, and they ask you to refrain from shooting Passenger Pidgeons!
My oldest personal possession is a two piece fiberglass 7 weight flyrod I got when I was 9 years old. Clunky metal ferrules, 4 different colors of thread holding the guides now, etc. A million fish, a million memories.

In kindagarden teacher read a book about a Chinaman that drank up a sea. Not sure what all of the story was but I drew a picture of the Chinaman my mom framed it and still have it. I’m 53 now. Guess you would have to see it.

I have my dad’s sling shot he made and used back in the 20’s. It is worn smooth from all the use. I have it in a shadow box on the wall. Someday it will go to my grandson who is 5. I also have his baby shoes.

Thats the one. Thanks G, but my drawing puts the book to shame.
Just added these four to my collection. I haven’t made the time yet to ID the style or age of these arrowheads. But, they are old. Found while picking rocks in my food plot at my farm.
Mine has to be an old table, which my grandmother bought for 25ยข on her way from Ellis Island, where she was required to marry Grampa, before they would let her into the USA. That was around 1905-10. I’m not sure how old the table was when she bought it.
My t. Whacker. Had it forever, used to play with it a lot as a kid, not so much now. Could be broken, seems to leak a little now. I think I still have it, haven’t seen it for ages.
I have english fishing and shooting prints in my den that were peinted in 1780. I like fishing and shooting a lot better here in the 21st century.
I have the last shotgun that my great grandfather bought in 1903, a Winchester 1897. I also have his gallery rifle, a Remington 12, the name aparently struck hin as something to be taken literally. He practiced in the hall with .22 shorts.
But my prizes possesion is the family bible from my fathers side. Its only from 1820 or so, but my sons will be the 6th generation to possess it.

I have my great, great grandmother’s rocking chair. Came to this country in the mid-1800’s. I also have the bible my grandmother and grandfather had as a wedding present.
Mine has to be a table brought over to the colonies in the late 1600’s, I don’t know how old it was when it reached these shores but according to the restoration guy I had do some repairs it was made in the early to mid 1500’s.
