Do you have any family heirlooms?

what are they?
My dad was tired of looking after his so he made me take his family ring back home with me that goes back to his great grandfather with a thousand directions on how I’m to look after it. Kinda awkward. Never wore jewelery before.
I almost already damn lost it on the flight back because it’s too big and fell off my finger.
Supposedly, I’m to create a secret alcove in my apartment to hide it every second I’m not wearing it.
Reminded me of this:

A trust ?

Physical mementos of yesteryear. I do t think a trust is an heirloom

I have an old double barrel shot gun that belonged to my Great Great Uncle Lat. It isn't valuable at all or in very good shape, but it was something that my dad wanted to give me. My dad used to go squirrel hunting with it when he was a boy.

My father in law has a 1776 continental dollar coin in excellent condition condition ($60-80k coin)
My pos brother in law is gonna sell it the day my Fil dies...
It's a damn shame. I'm going to offer to buy if from him for whatever offer he gets if he does sell that.
Other than that, I have an old pocket watch that has family history that was passed down to me and will be passed down to my son.

I’ve got a huge package. Got it from my father and he got it from his father.

Why isn't your wife getting it?

She will get her mom's jewelery. BIL will get father's coin collection.

Grandad passed down a silver star and two Purple Hearts. Must’ve been a bad arse in WWII. I don’t know much about his history other than he was part of the crew that stormed the beach.

I am not sure how valuable this is, I doubt not much, but when my grandpa passed away, when my mom and her sisters were preparing to sell his house and was going through everything, they found a bunch of items he had collected while in WWII. Items they had no idea he had nor he never mentioned he had.
It was items like several types of bullets, he had currency from several different countries, some of the currency was not even used anymore. Items he traded with other soldiers. There were maps he had drawn, but it doesn't indicate where they are of. He was stationed in Italy for awhile so he had a good bit of items from there, but that's all I really know of.

I would sell it too. I'm not into bragging rights.

We just have a Leprechaun Flute that's been passed down for many generations. It originated in Ireland and used by our forefather Shamus. My 2nd cousin is the current keeper and has had some recent luck with it in the Mobile area.

From one pawpaw I got an armoire and a couple old vacuum tube radios that still work if you take the vacuum tubes out and blow on them.
From the other pawpaw I got a black and decker corded drill from the early sixties, still works.
Both parents grew up dirt poor and their parents had it even worse, so there wasn’t much to pass down.

My grandparents had a shite ton of heirlooms that I became custodian of after they passed. Before my grandmother passed, she tagged a lot of it saying who it belonged to, etc. Some of the nicer things is a set of dishes that a great-great-great aunt purchased in Paris in the 1870's on her honeymoon; a trunk that belonged to my great-great-great grandfather; some World War I items from my great-grandfather; some sterling silver items that were a wedding gift to my great-great grandparents; some various documents signed by some of my ancestors going back to the 1850's.

I have a silver dollar from my maternal grandfather. It was given to him by his father when he left for WW2 for good luck. He carried it until he died in his early 70s. I never got to meet him so Im happy to have it.

I've got an old double barrel shotgun that's been in the family since the late 1800s. It's no longer functioning though. I've also got the Old Timer pocket knives both my grandfathers carried around for years
