In high school I was a member of a club "the Young Historians". We filled out a survey at our first meeting and one question was do you have any historical antiques in your house. A friend sitting next to me wrote down "my mother".
A rocking chair bought by my maternal grandfather a very long time ago is very old. It was bought from the Graysonia (Arkansas) Commissary when I was born. Graysonia has now been a ghost town for almost 85 years. I still sit in and "talk" to him and grandmother from time-to-time. But even older than that is a hand made chair brought to Arkansas by my maternal great great grandfather before 1850. It started in North Carolina, and came through Georgia and Texas before it got here so I have no idea how old it is.
Early 1900s chair belonged to my great grandparents. Like new, no kids were ever allowed to sit or touch it I was told.
Beautiful item we stored away properly to keep its condition pristine.
I have a large ball jar with vegetables, corn, green beans, carrots that has a tag on it: "put up by ...... (my great grandmother's name) ...... in about 1910". I wouldn't put it to the test, but the vegetables still look good enough to eat.
Well, almost.
