"Actually my house, built in 1932! " Mine is 1896. Paid the mortgage off last year & the bank sent me every deed of sale from 1896 onwards. It's fascinating to see all these people who lived in this house. | |||

"Not including offspring
Do you treasure old treasures? Or are you a paid up member of the throw-away club?"Erm. My Grandma's engagement ring My Grandad's musical instruments Not sure what's older. I think it'll mainly be superceded when I acquired the (repaired) Grandfather clock, though one of the instruments might be older. I don't know exact dates. | |||

"A grandfather clock, handmade by my grandfather in 1926. A woollen overcoat tailored for my great uncle in Philadelphia in the late 1940s." I'm going to be acquiring a Grandfather clock from 1860s, soonish. A bit of a responsibility! | |||

"I think I must qualify as a hoarder then coz I have loads of old stuff. Mainly family stuff. My ggrandmas wedding ring 1913, my ggrandads queen Mary box from WW1. Letters from war time. Original birth and baptismal certs, family bible. A parcel that was on a boat which was torpedoed during WWII, retrieved and sent on. A pair of 50 year anniversary plaques from Lourdes which were supposedly the only things left, standing on a fireplace in a village in France WWI. It’s all sentimental stuff, kept in a big box. I regularly look through it though, it’s not left hidden away " Try and track down your Great Grandads medals,they will be out there somewhere.British Medal Forum (free to use) and Medals Re-United groups (on Facebook) are a good start | |||

Thank you for the info and your time. He had a rather large collection and competed too. " You're welcome.Should have mentioned,solid ball is today illegal in a Shotgun,so typically the weight is distributed amongst smaller balls (shot),therefore your 4 bore will fire 4 ounces of shot,which can be of various sizes as long as each total doesn't exceed 4 ounce.This type of weapon was also used by the old boy big game hunters in Africa and India,from big cats to Elephants.If its a muzzle loader you are fine in relation to licensing (exempt) if not you are still ok,obsolete calibre (its not a common "off the shelf" calibre),you can have them made at which point you require a license. | |||

"I have a bugle that was my great grandfather's.. he had it when he was 13...so i believe that makes it currently about 105 years old. However... I don't think it was new when he got it.. so could be older Cali" Totally misread that as “bulge”… 105 year old(!)… talk about blue balls 🤣 But seriously, that’s really cool | |||
