I have a fiddle or violin made in France in 1721. Been in my family for over 170 years. Sadly no one in the family alive today knows how to play it including me.

I have my great grandma's cast iron, my grandpa's first .22 and my grandparents first dining room table they had as a married couple.

Brands from my dad, grandfather, great grand father, and great great grandfather. Saddles and spurs from all of them from all the back to the mid 1800's.

I have several coins and rifles from my grandfather. Just the other day my mother gave me a small table that was my great grandfathers that he had made. I have it in the house now.

Great grandmothers wash stand from the late 1800's, my dad's savage 99D that he bought when he was a kid which will be passed down and two VERY old bibles that belonged to great great GM. There are some other really old knives and e few guns but not sure of the history on them.

Very cool you have that! My older cousins got all that kinda stuff. I do have one of my grandfather's saddles that has a broken tree. I need to clean it up and display it somewhere.

Have my gramps single shot .410 and a very old large music box that was made in the black forest in Germany in mid 1800 's

What a great thread......I was recently given newspaper dies from the late 1700s. One of my ancestors made the dies for the papers and they have been handed down through the years. All of them are made out of wood and feature faces of the most important people of the time. I had no idea they existed until this past June when they were given to me.

Oldest family heirloom

Thing I think of first is the several hundred acres of family land we all live on - been in family since 1800s. There are now like 22-23 houses and all family here...Original house is still here on farm and lived in- built in 1893 or so
I have some guns and my dad still has some I will have one day ......
My mom has some old stuff from my grandma - written records, photos, deeds, etc. lot of this land was bought for like 20 bucks an acre and descriptions in deed use forked trees and "guns barrel length"

Here is my octagon barrel 22
