That's because I used to be a numismatist and philatelist before I became a hobbyist.

Hemorrhoid that is older than some of the posters here . . . . and in some cases, I would argue better looking.  Lol

And there's an old frying pan that I grabbed from my mom when I went to college.   She probably bought it when she set up her house around 1944.

 
There's also something wrapped in foil in the back of my freezer, but I'm too afraid to see what it is.

Fortunately I can actually say I have things that are older than me unlike some it seems - lol

 
I have an old WWII 9mm long barrel Luger pistol and a .30-06 Mauser rifle as well as some .22 and .32 cal pistols that are probably a bit older. Also an old WWI bayonet.

 
I have an old roll top desk that is probably 40s or 50s. I have a number of books that were printed in the 1800s more that are early 1900s and a gold pocket watch (like the train conductors used to carry) that I believe dates to late nineteenth century.

 
I also have some old "cowboy" string ties that may well be from the 1930s or 40s but might be newer.

 
It's amazing what crap accumulates over time and generations....

Same here - old coins, I used to love to collect older coins when I was younger. Then the passion kinda died out, not entirely sure why.

More than a billion years old.  

I also have some late 18th century and early 19th century furniture and other items.  

I have a few shirts older than some of the providers I've been with.

I don't need those new fangled things.  Hell, even a slide rule is too outré for me.

Nothing too valuable or rare except that one was an old silver dollar from the 1800s that a coin book said was worth about $10,000.   I took it down to a coin shop, but it turns out that it was counterfeit.  The dealer said that is the case with 95% of the coins he sees.   The real puzzle is that he said it was indeed silver, but it was clearly cast in a mold, not stamped.  He showed me how one can tell by looking at the reeding (the lines on the edge of the coin) under a loupe.  If they are indistinct and variable, then the coin was cast in a mold.  They should be sharp and very regular if stamped.

He said the coin was only worth the value of the silver, just a few bucks.

from the 19th century that my mother-in-law got from her parents when she left home in 1930.  

They really could be lethal weapons.

I have a secretary desk that an elderly neighbor gave me when I helped him move when I was a kid. It was an antique then, from the latter 1800s.

But maybe my most cherished possession is my dad’s Crosley crystal set (ie radio), patent dated 1914, that he had as a boy. It must be close to 100 years old.

Aside from that (and me), it's some antique furniture that I've had for decades.

condom you stole from your dad when you were 16?   I remember how guys would pull out their wallets back then and you could see the impression of the condom in the leather.   ANYBODY could look like a player.  Lol

I have a piecrust hallway table from about 1760, an apothecary desk from the early 1800's, a dining room set from the 1920's, a good bit of artwork that outdates me, even a few antique guns.  

Used to love going antiqueing, but haven't been for a few years.

All our atoms (heavier than hydrogen) in us and around us are billions of years old -- heavier elements probably formed more than four billion years ago.  Hydrogen itself goes back to the big bang maybe 14 billion years ago.
.
I think the oldest known object I have at home is a piece of trinitite (desert sand melted to glass by the first atomic explosion, Trinity, in 1945.)  Yes it is still slightly radioactive.
