At first I thought my grandfather clock about 1880.It always makes me feel young. But the oldest thing in the room is about 460 million years old….beat that Ps . Excuse the spelling on the card, education then was not all it should have been
The oldest thing in the room….hmm…probably my Echinoid. 440 million years old, give or take a few hundred thousand years…
In the granny flat this morning so pretty much everything is less than 10 years old. Guess it’s the secondhand patio windows probably 15 years old, or as you say it’s probably me that’s the oldest thing in the room!
Sorry @Soggz Along with a load of fossils we also have a piece of lewisian gneiss rock that’s around 2.4 billion years old and is the oldest rock in the uk. Unfortunately having a wife that teachers about geology means we’ve got rocks and fossils bloody everywhere.
Dining table and a couple of the chairs were from my great aunt's house when she died, but the house was originally built by my great grandfather (her dad) so they probably belonged to him. Maybe 90-100 years old? The old AA badge must be reasonably ancient? A few maps of the area from the 40s (too young) Maybe a couple of tiny records on the Mimosa label that existed in the 1920s....?
Technically yes I am but our dog is nearly 12 and if one human year is equivalent to seven dog years then she's in her mid 80's
We have a plate from the Tek Sing, which was found at the bottom of the South China Sea, nearly 200 years after sinking.
