I have a few Edmund Scientific jumping (bi-metal) disks from when I was a kid (~1965) and a few other doodads.

After those, the oldest thing is probably a pair of wingtips from ~1982. I still wear them to weddings and funerals.

Also some large pieces of lint.

Good point, the oldest thing I own which is a manufactured object (and not just a rock or something) would probably be an arrowhead.

Well if we're going to include old rocks, there's this in my closet:

oops, sorry you said not just rocks. Never mind.

wait, is this now anything we own, or just stuff in our closet?

footfootfoot 08-24-2011 03:09 PM

yeah, and how is "closet" defined?
