Well, mine is the covering blanket I use anytime I visit my grandparents. Its called "aran". It belonged to my Grandma's mum (great grand mum). Its so so old and weak but I still use it. I am sure its way way more than half a century old. Probably 70-80 years old.

Mine happens to a Kenwood amplifier, equalizer and its speaker ma Dad used 1970 when he was rocking life funny enough it still works

I remember when i went to greet my grandpa i saw a 1989 calendar on the wall...
Wonder why he still keeps it

In our family shrine we have some idols and ritual objects dating back to 500 yrs or so. we dont even know the exact age.

We've got a 22 year old Seiko- Quartz wall clock. Still works.

We still have by late Dad's reading lamp and his reading table that he used in his days in Unilag. Also have his turn table. I still wonder why mum has refused to get rid of it since my Dad died about 17yrs ago.
The one I love most are my baby cloths. I still have the dress I wore on the day I was christened, my Beautiful white dress. My kids have to Ơ̴̴̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡ it.
The truth is the standard of those stuff are far beta than goods that are produced now.

My dad has this table clock which my mum used in teaching me how to tell d time when I was small, she said she met it in my dad's house; the shawl that was used to wrap me when I was born, I inherited it as the first child and used it for my first child 15yrs ago and its still pristine white! some baby clothes of almost 40yrs old and this local water pot my dad used to was in his house before he married my mother!

My dad made this book shelve back when he was in poly ibadan. That was over 35 years ago. It's still in his room up till now!!! There's also a very old 3 seater outside within the compound. I don't know which one is older but the seat and the book shelve should be about thesame age.
