My Grandfather's Clock, Circa 1770
This clock has been in my family a long time. It's older than the US and it still works perfectly!
Me
Because I am moving house and everything that I have that is older has been boxed.
I was thinking of doing this but don't want to admit that I'm old. 😕🥴😒

Egg Basket Made By My Great Grandfather Sometime Between 1896 And 1900
Melon baskets (because of the shape) are the best! They hold so much stuff down inside there. I've never heard them called egg baskets but it makes perfect sense.

Butter Mold
Belonged to my mother-in-law's mom. My mother-in-law was born in 1924, so this is at least 100 years old. Her mother sold butter molded in this to her neighbors in Rome, Georgia.
Dutch And Hebrew Psalm Book From 1666. My Antique Dealer Friend Says It's Worth $20
An Old Singer Sewing Machine From (Maybe) The 60s
Definitely older, if it has a treadle---though many of those old machines were electrified later on. If it works, you have a real treasure. If it doesn't, it could probably be made to run. Those early Singers are darn near indestructible. (My own Singer is a baby by comparison--1949 and I wouldn't trade it for anything.)

I just learned that I should treat my singer sewing machine with more respect.
Absolutely. If you can find the model/serial number on it you can look it up and find out a lot about it. Those things were built to last.
