I have a couch and chairs from my in-laws that are over 120 years old.
I have a sword from a dead German soldier from ww2.
What old/cool stuff do you have?

I'm sure i have furniture or some mementos from my grandparents that are very old. Honestly, the first thing i thought of was a couple of t-shirts.

I've inherited all of the family pictures as people have passed away on my father's side. I have pictures of my grandparents from 1930-35.

I also recently inherited my great grandparents bedroom suite that they purchased back in the 20s

That's neat. How many? Did they get handed down? Do you display them?

They don't make furniture like they used to.
I don't see IKEA crap lasting 500 years.

I have a sideboard that my great-great grandmother bought used in the 1890s. During the Depression, my great-grandparents traded it to a farmer for a pig. Sometime in the 50s, my grandmother bought it back from the farmer. I've had it for a little over 10 years now.

We have an ~1860s bed that's in it's fourth generation of my wife's family. It has a custom mattress because it's only 5'9" from head to foot.

Have a pre-Civil War china cabinet from West Virginia when it was still part of Virginia. Nice basic piece of furniture. Simple and functional even 150 years later.

I have several coins from the mid 1800's, and some books and letters that I'm not sure just how old they are. The oldest thing of any size is the trunk my grandfather carried when he went to college. Late 1800's. It needs to be reworked something fierce. There's a company in Raleigh that seems to do amazing work, so I'll check them out.

I'm a bit of a coin collector. Probably my favorite is a 1788 Massachusetts Cent (for a brief period) after the revolution a few states put out their own coins):



There's a bit of a personal connection as I was born in MA.

A big range depending on condition. Mine's probably $1k or so. Have to be careful for fakes on coins like these.
