Members Rowka Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 Not the oldest thing you own, but the thing that you have owned the longest. I have a gold chain and Jesus medallion that was bought for me upon my birth, but I don't really count that.The thing that I've owned the longest that I had influence in its purchase is my Buescher Aristocrat alto sax. Bought for me 30 years ago and I still use it. How about you? 20319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hearafter Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 A gold watch my dad's friend gave me. He hid that uncomfortable hunk of metal up his ass for several years while he was in a Vietnamese prison... Honestly, a modified Kramer/Strat guitar that my brother and I built 20 years ago. I don't usually keep things around very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Robin Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 Probably my 66 or 67 Hofner Colorama and original gig bag. The bag is still in excellent shape, the guitar is in rehab, missing a few parts and the original vinyl covering. My first brand new electric, from "Santa" while we were living in Wiesbaden, Germany.

My MIA '62 Jazz reissue I bought new in 1987. My Jeep Cherokee I bought new in 1993. It just turned 175 K miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Psilocybin Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 The first thing that comes to mind is my 8-bit nintendo. My parents wouldn't buy me one so I saved up money by doing yard work for people. I think I picked it up around 1989-1990 or so. I still play it.

Members SA Rios Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 I have a bunch of stuff in storage that I've had since I was a baby, but that really does not count since I didn't buy it. I guess the oldest stuff I have that I actually bought are matchbox cars and baseball cards that I bought with allowance money when I was a kid. The cards go back to about '84 when I was 7.

He hid that uncomfortable hunk of metal up his ass for several years while he was in a Vietnamese prison... One time I was managing some apartments in North Hollywood. There was this couple who lived in one of the units that looked like they skipped out. I went into the apartment to look around and saw this gold watch hanging on this ceramic kangaroo. I was tempted to grab it but then I heard somebody in the bathroom so I booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
