My dad's Ithaca 12 gauge pump shotgun. He got it in the 50's. Great gun that almost single-handedly wiped out the rabbit population in south Louisiana.


Nice! I have my Paw Paw's 56 Ithaca pump in 16 gauge. I also have a 62 model Ithaca in 20 gauge that he gave me when I was 11 years old. I never shoot his gun, and only shoot my 20 when I'm dove hunting. But man, those are some great guns.


I also have 1967 Gillette Super Speed that my father-in-law gave me. I was born in 67, so it's kinda cool to use shave with a razor that's as old as I am.

Lastly, I have a hand crank bench grinder that belonged to my great grandfather. I have no idea how old it is, but I'd guess well over 100 yo. I used it the other day to smooth out a piece of aluminum I cut.

Oldest guns are my grandpa's Brownings. I looked them up once, and they're from the 50s. I forget which year offhand.

Cookware, I have one or two pieces of cast iron from each of my grandmothers. The small one was my dad's mom's, and the larger one my mother's. I also have a small fry, a little square one that is perfect for a grilled cheese. All of those are probably 60+ years old.

One day I'm going to own a Jeep from the year I was born. I'll just have to find the right CJ5, CJ7, or ideally a Scrambler and fix it up.

I have an antler handled carving set I use a few times a month that is over 350 years old.
