I have a box of pipes. No idea how old it is but it makes me smile. I like old fashioned things and have a number of bits and pieces that belonged to my gramps. Old is good!

I used to own some really ghastly blue glass bowls, vases etc etc.......threw them out into a skip when i moved because i really couldn't understand how anybody could want to keep anything so ugly...........few months later visiting a castle....and there was all this blue, ugly glassware.....turns out I had destroyed a whole load of expensive, antiques

.

Oldest personal item I own now is my rifle....made by Stirling (they used to make machine guns)

.

Oldest family item I own is still at my parents house hanging on their wall...I found and bought a 1943 photograph of the Cruiser my father served on during the war

Not the oldest thing I own, but a pack of cards given to me by Tommy Cooper about 40 years ago at a magic Circle event at Harrogate. I was a magicians assistant and following a slighlty disturbing incident was greeted off stage by the great man. I've treasured them ever since

A pair of airline seats from what appears to be the British Airtours Tristar runway overrun at Leeds Bradford in 1985 according to serial numbers. They were installed in 1975.

They make a great talking piece for sure.

Not the oldest but probably the most interesting (to certain anoraks) is a comprehensive history of the building I live in.

Everything from original Victorian architect drawings, construction invoices and receipts, fairly primitive photographs during construction and title deeds through records of (we think) everyone we've rented homes or offices to over the years along with more photographs of the various redecorations, renovations and the people involved.

No intrinsic value to anyone outside the family but something each generation has contributed to.

Owning a time machine means I've got shit loads of old stuff!

I think my favourite old thing is the little old man I keep in my cupboard. I found him in the Farrah isle of my local Greenwoods, slightly dazed and confused.

I keep him to make me hot beverages and on an evening I like to stroke his chin.

i have two favourite "old" things ... one is a bullet found on the field where the battle of Franklin happened in Tennessee, and the other is a small victorian tea caddy which belonged to my Grandma. Both have no real monetary value, maybe £100 or so for the caddy, but they both remind me of very special people in my life

I have a campaign chest that was made for my great great grandfather (I think) and has travelled round the world with various members of my family. The wood is mellowed and aged and it's marked in places, but I love it as it not only holds the stories of generations of my family, but it also always reminds me of my grandmother who I adored.

Unlikely as it sounds it's hard to envisage another interpretation of 'full size'.

I have a chestnut stool with turned legs that I made when I was in school aged 15, probably worthless to anyone else, and its very ugly, as each leg is slightly different as I wasnt very good on a lathe, but for personal reasons its probably one of my most prized posessions.
