"Your Mom!" seems like the obvious reply.

My chromosomes. They were given to me by my father who got them from his father, they've been handed down from generation to generation. Other then that I have a 1918 Spanish sword bayonet, a coronet made for the Wurlizter Company that was made around the 1920's, a sousaphone that I have no idea it's age, and and anti aircraft shell casing that has some battlefield art on it from 1943 Guadalcanal after the main battle.

It's a toss up between my upright Victor Victrola and my RCA Radiola 17, which is an early 1920's vintage. Both pieces have been in the family since new.

My grandfather's pocket knife. Some old photo albums of ancestors I don't know.
Oh! And the dirt in my yard, soothing is older than that.

My great grandfather's baseball bat with his initials carved in it from about 1896-1900.
I have a photo of his town / church baseball team and he's holding it.
Our dining room table was supposedly his from about 1910. I'm not sure I believe that but my dad played ping pong on it as a little kid around 1945 and he remembered it being really old then.

English Bayonet my great great grandfather brought home from the great war made in 1907. My house was built in 1864 but I don't own it.

I think I have a coin from the 1920's
I have a Bible from the 1890's in my basement somewhere.
I have a work bench built by my wife's grandfather in my garage. We estimate it was built in the late 1940's. Sturdy AF.

I have 4 door stops inside my house that are something like 65 million years old. Petrified wood samples from the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. And before the uproar, I inherited them from my Grandparents on my mother's side who collected them back in the 30's before it was illegal to remove samples from the Park. Have tons of fossils outside, some I'm sure are a lot older.

I have a page from a law book printed in the 1500s, a will and a deed from the 1800s, and my wife has an old Japanese sword, allegedly from a WWII soldier.
I had my dad's ID badge from his mill and his grandmother's St. Somebody necklace but I gave them to my daughters after my dad died.

I have a piece of petrified wood and a really cool looking hunk of Pennsylvanian Bluestone that is about 370 million years old but I don't think that was in the spirit of the thread

Sure it is. That's why I mentioned "think about it" in the original post. So, what's PA Bluestone? Amber?
