Mine was built out of spare parts by my father and my grandfather. It's a Speedster with the round tank behind the seat and my grandfathers old tool box on the back for a tank. I learned to drive that before a 'modern' car. Oh I was 11.Quote:

My current old rig is a 56 CJ5. It's my summertime fair weather ride to the bar. Way more dangerous than any motorcycle but fun to drive.
I have a couple large 2 person hand saws from the early 1900's.
Oldest vehicle I've ever owned is my 71 C10, which I still have
my old man has a 53 CJQuote:

Dang, you beat me by a couple years.....my daughter's bed is an antique "pineapple" 4-poster from, I think 1912 (may be older....the tag is still on the spring, I can look when I get home).Quote:

There is dried out cat poop in my basement that's at least 3 years old.
I've got a Mauser rifle that was made in the 1890s (Model 1895 Chilean Mauser in unissued condition) and a house that was built in 1800.

A book titled "decorum" from 1880, " never let your husband have cause to complain" . Reading it is actually more of a satirical comedy than the instructional book it was meant to be. Next is my 1934 Mosin.

I have an old 2man crosscut, have no idea the age though, also a Webster's Academic Illustrated Dictionary from 1868, even has a couple of 4 leaf clovers pressed within the pages somwhere, and probably the oldest item I have is a staff compass, no date on it, but if not 200 years old, nearly 200 years old, its made my A. Chandler, Concord, NH who made instruments from about 1800, into the 1820s and a Gunter's chain https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...51936820_n.jpgQuote:
