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.
