Currently the oldest thing I have is a pocket watch which belonged to my great grandfather. It's an Elgin National from 1890. It's really not worth much, you can find them on e-bay for around $50 to $100. But to me it's priceless. It has a watch chain made from my great grandmother's hair and it has dent on the back. I guess one year while GGF was plowing the field he lost it. The next year he plowed it back up. Considering he hit it with a plow it's dent is really small, literally did to know where it is to see it. He had it fixed. I'm told if you wind it it will run. I don't wind it.
