I'm going to go with my condo. As far as I can tell, this building came into existence in 1894. I also have this cuckoo clock (http://tweaktoday.com/users/kellydna/submissions/8028) which has been handed down (http://kellydna.posterous.com/representin-0) through a few generations, but as I ponder the question, I realize that my building is probably older. Though technically, I only own about 50% if you go by purchase price, or about 65% if I guess what I could sell it for now. This photo is from happier times last December when we got about 16" in one shot.

This pocket bag passed to me from my mother's side of the family. It's a WW1 soldier's kit. The small badge is an Officer's collar badge for dress occasions. The larger one says "Ubique Quo fas et Gloria dacunt" or "everywhere, whither glory and duty lead," and is an emblem of the Royal Artillery.
Although I don't have any surviving relatives who could tell me where this kit came from, I keep it as a reminder that it could one day be me given one and told to go fight.

I'm at work today, so the oldest thing I own here will have to work.

Not 100% sure on this one, the heirloom dressing tables also look quite old and some of my jewelery could be older but this 60s Eden big-eyed hobo girl print is the oldest I can somewhat verify.
I'll be selling her soon, but she always made me smile as she peered out of the wardrobe in our old house.Apr 11, 2011 04:55 by forestchic-
