Re: Just for Fun! What's the Oldest Thing You Own..BUT Still Use?

Since I posted this thread, I've been thinking about what the oldest thing I own and still use and I think it's some of the pieces of jewelry my mother passed down to me.  Most of the jewelry is not terribly expensive but it's priceless to me.  There's not a day that goes by that, in someway, I don't think about her.

I inherited some sterling silver flatware from my MIL that we use. My MIL bought it at an antique sale so this set may be way over 100 years old. I tried to find the pattern online, but no luck.

         I have two beautiful tall, brass candle holders that my mother had on her dinning room sideboard.  They must be 80 plus years old!!  I love them and would not ever get rid of them, but what a pain to clean!!!

        Also have some family jewelry, but just not my style so kept in safe deposit box!!

My grandmother's rolling pin and big cast iron skillet.  I have a butter churn that belonged to my grandmother as well.  Thank goodness....I don't have to use that!  lol
