I don`t really see what it has to do with holding on to sentimental things.

I mean like family keepsakes and that type of thing. That's what I think of when I think of old things. I don't really hold on to things that have been passed through the family - antiques and whatnot - so pretty much if I don't have a need for something I get rid of it.

I have a set of nesting tables that are approximately 100 years old (according to the antique dealer I bought them from).

A Pound Stone. An American Indian Artifact that dates back to Pre-1600's. Sometimes I actually use it to grind things. Still works like new. :D
