LOL!

Actually, I have my great, great grandfathers "original Sheep Skin" diploma from medical school, dated 3 June 1869 from St. Louis School of Medicine.

We have a lot of indian arrowheads that my husband found when he was a kid. I have an antique china cabinet that was my grandmothers. When she died last year, it was given to me and my husband received her coin collection. Some of the coins where from the late 1800.

I have my Great Grandfather's ratan bookcase. It's over 100 years old and very beautiful. I also have an oak pedestal dining table that's about 100 years old. I collect antique red glass but most of the pieces I have are from 1920 thru 1940.

Oldest things here are my Dad's WW II USAAF pilot's wings and ribbon bars. Second is my No. 4 MK I Lee-Enfield, third is myself, fourth is "Her Royal Circumference" (wife)...the list continues.

I have a War Ration stamp book dated 1943, and, my Aunt Irene's wedding band set from the 1940's (I'm not sure of her exact wedding date). I have a Japanese
bill from WWII with 100 all over it (I'm assuming yen?) but, since I cannot
read Japanese, I do not know the date.
