Whatcha Got That’s Old?

[TANSTAAFL]

I have a wristwatch with a Muonionalusta Meteorite dial. The estimated age of the meteorite is 4.56 billion years, a bit older than the earth (4.54 billion years.)

Not meant to be an affront on religious beliefs or anyone's faith.

As far as other old items I have a book that has a print date back to the 1890's. It is a bible from my Grandmother.

I'm guessing this oreodont fossil

Fake news. The earth is only 3000 years old. (kidding)

The book, "The Virginian" by Owen Wister. Published in 1904. Considered the first true western fiction. The book was dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt.

My grandfather's straight razor and razor strop he brought with him from Russia when he migrated to the USA in 1911 at the age of 17.

Back at the farm, our machine shop. Besides the drill press, we had an air compressor, a grinding wheel setup, (last picture), and an old blower for the forge which dad sold to the local farrier. We just changed belts when we needed a different operation.

The oldest things I own are probably my grandpa's horse-drawn (or, more accurately, mule-drawn) farming implements. I have an old John Deere horse-drawn sickle bar mower that he used to cut hay, a three-section knife harrow, a couple of plows, and a tandem disk. I also have horse-drawn implements (a buck rake and side-delivery rake) from my paternal grandpa, but I think they only saw service trailing behind an 8N with my dad's butt polishing the seat on the implement.

Some pretty cool stuff. Don't think it is the oldest thing I own but my house is a 1906 vintage...older than Oklahoma.

I have a couple of the steel wheeled two bottom trip plows, single gang disk with seat, buck rake and an Adams Road Patrol #4 road grader. All still work. all previously horse drawn. The road grader gets a regular workout on our road, much better than a 3 point grader or box blade to put a road back in shape.
Converted it to use with the lifting arms on the tractor so I don't have to use the wheels attached to the blade to raise and lower.

I have a cannonball that I dug out of a ditch as a kid when my grandparents lived on De Zavala Road in Channelview Texas.(Pasadena)
Possibly from the battle of SanJacinto, 1836.
close to the San Jacinto monument.
I use to play around Buffalo Bayou area which is also nearby.
