My Christmas Wish Baby Doll I got when I was 5. 56 years ago. She has green eyes like me. Most dolls eyes were blue back in those days.

It’s a silver birth spoon I inherit from my I think great grandmother. It goes from mother to daughter so I got it from my mother when she passed. In the old days when a child was born it got a silver spoon (in the north of the Netherlands). It had the name and birthdate of the newborn ingraved. And special symbols on it to tell details about the family and job of the father.
The spoon is from 1818.
It’s very dear to me. When I’m gone it’s for my daughter. Hope she will have a daughter too some day to pass it trough.

Oh wow…that’s so cool. Yeah- it is funny how things in math haven’t changed much but they made you buy the latest addition for class

I have a mathematics books from late XIXth century that belonged to my grand grand grand father. They were not very well off so as a kid he used to write the answer to the exercise in very tiny letters on whatever page was left blank to save buying a notebook. It’s something to see his hand writing.

So many cool treasures on this thread! Aware I’m blowing by the “that you still use” part here
bc I can barely turn the pages without them crumbling but oh boy is it amusing to read. The terminology and use of words so different from modern day. Practical Housekeeping belonged to my great grandmother. Best guess is copyright 1860-1870.

Whilst jogging on a countryside gravel track as a kid back in England once upon a time, I found a ‘half penny’ from 1916. Obviously made my day! & still has that sentimental value… I don’t have it with me travelling unfortunately, so no pic…
I think that’d be the oldest anyways

I was just thinking about this thread the other day when I was wondering how old something was. After doing a little digging, this is actually the oldest thing I own and still use, frequently.
Kurlash Company Twissors, circa 1935
My dad gave them to me. Hands down, the best tweezers I’ve ever used. Never been able to find another pair that comes even remotely close. They really don’t make 'em like they used to.

SO very cool. Love that they still work and are of such great quality. I was on a long quest for a good pair of tweezers 
They really don’t make them like they used to. I’m impressed / intrigued by the shape also.
