Goodpancakes posted:Who knew that post the oldest thing you own would turn into a gun show Well built things that were expensive when new, I guess. Slightly surprised no one has shown up with an old sewing machine or ancient camera. I expect a flood of people with neat old furniture. I'm packing now, so no pics, but I have the kitchen table from my great-grandmother's house. There is a picture of it there in 1910, and I've seen pictures of it in family houses through the 80's when my grandfather got it. The table is dead simple, very small with the leaf folded down, the stain is a pleasant red, and it's covered with old burns and scars. Even got two of the chairs! Someone, probably my great-grandfather or one of his brothers, made that by hand for her and we've used it continuously since then. Perfect table for poor people. When you don't have as much, just make the table smaller.

Beachcomber posted:Safety first, I guess, but is that really necessary as long as you don't keep powder around? It is less "gun safe" and more the fact I don't have a good place to store it at the moment and don't just want it hanging in the open. If someone stole it and tried to operate it I would be very impressed.

Lol, I tried to find your original post and refer you to TFR's resident antique gun dude (McNally from GiP), but clicking "show only this user's posts" shows everything except your posts.

I own a Japanese sword that was made around 1450. It is an uchigatana,, a kinda precursor to the katana. Here it is next to a regular katana from the 1600 hundreds. A little shorter and meant to be used one handed. Applesnots fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Nov 3, 2019 |

I have a rifle built in 1870, retrofitted in an unsafe way to use as a last defense during world war 1. Technically it can be fired but the gun goons told me it'd probably explode, killing, blinding, or otherwise maiming me. So it hangs on my wall.

I got my son a nice Saharan handaxe, on the one hand I feel bad about the immense number of artifacts from that part of the world getting sold in bulk but on the other it is really inspiring to handle it and think about human creativity and craft at work something like 300,000 years ago.

Apollodorus posted:Roman coins, also a glass game piece I accidentally looted from Pompeii. Where did you source your coins from? I looked into them for the novelty factor a couple years back before deciding I wouldn't ever really DO anything with them or display them properly, and that the market is absolutely saturated with fakes.

Broken jug from Edgefield, SC, dated to around 1830. I have a few fragments of pottery from the same area/era. I've got a few coins from the beginning of the 19th c, and I think I've got one from the end of the 18th, but they're packed up right now.

My house I suppose. 1870s - pretty par for the area though. The house we owned before that was 1820s I think.

Apollodorus posted:Roman coins, also a glass game piece I accidentally looted from Pompeii. How do you accidentally loot from Pompeii? I have a pendant made from an 1876 Philadelphia souvenir penny. My mom had two, and I got them set into gold bezels. I also have an old cane sword from 1900. My grandma always told this story of an uncle that bought it for self defense during the Boxer Rebellion. I found it when we were cleaning out grandma's house and we were all bamboozled that not only had the story not been BS, but that she had it the entire time. I still have no goddamn idea what the guy was even doing in China during the Boxer Rebellion. My guess is lying about where he got the cane sword.
