What's your oldest family heirloom that has been passed down? Mine is a cap pistol and harmonica that dates back to the 1860's. It was brought back when the Civil War was over. My family that passed it down fought for the South.

.32 cal Kentucky. Side plate has a turkey etched on it. Has the original hickory stick ramrod.
And an original .41 cal Philidale derringer. Has all the silver hardware. Exact same model Booth used on Lincoln. Relative carried it back and forth, when bringing settlers to Texas from the east coast. Was popular because it was the smallest black powder derringer of the day. About the same size as today's small derringers.Comment

We don't have heirlooms in our family. At least we don't call them heirlooms. My dad did give me a couple of old rifles that he bought when he was a kid, a Winchester Scout .22 and an old Savage 25-20. I will pass them on to a son in law or grandkid someday along with dozen of others that I bought when I was younger.Comment

I have my great grandmas China
not sure how old it is. I never met her, but I do know it was made before 1944 because she was born in 1877 and passed away in 1944
