Well, my house is over 20 years old to start with. My dining room table and chairs belonged to my mother in law and they are over 40 years old. My kitchen cabinets are 30 years old (and they look it). I have a ton of books that are at least 30 years old. There are a lot of vinyl LPs and cassette tapes that are over 20, photos, newspaper articles about family members, a cashmere coat, a pair of shoes, my husband's bike, my husband's weightlifting and football trophies, my dance awards, jewellery, some fossils, rocks and sharks teeth that my kids collect. A rocking chair, and antique chest of drawers and the fridge in the rec room. I think that's about it!

It would be a shorter list to tell you what is under 20 years old in my house! Seriously I have a couple of antiques and a couple of books published prior to 1905 (one is "The Diary of My Honeymoon" and it's hilarious). I also have many of my childhood books.

Many. Quite a lot of Victoriana, but some of the pieces go back to the 17th century. Quite a few 18th century books, and a 17th century Bible. A bit of Roman glass. Mind you, a friend had a bit of straw reinforced mud brick brought back from the middle east that was from Sumeria, about 3000 BC.

Yes, a lot of things. Mostly hand-me-downs from my parents, like old record players and albums, furniture, etc. My favorite though is an antique hookah that was apparently my great-grandmother's. She used to smoke flavored tobacco out of it. I found it when I was living in my grandmother's house, and when the house got sold and I had to move out, I took it with me.
