For me it's this old beast from 1864.
Picked it up in a cozy little used bookshop while overseas once.

I have an Alice in Wonderland book from early 1900's (can't remember exact date right now but I think 1916). It's not the original publication date but has colored plates of John Tenniel's illustrations which is rare. I loved the story as a child so that makes it special to me.

I have the official history of the Great War, written in 1930, I think. It's definitely pre-World War II.

I have 3 "textbooks" from my grandmother when she was in school in the 30s: a French book, a guide to short hand, and a Louisiana Civics book. All 3 are fascinating.
