I have nothing as precious financially, but emotionally -
On my mother's side:
2 Family Bible (one dating back to 1858)
Christening gown made for my grandmother and worn by my mother & her siblings
A tray cloth embroidered by my great-grandmother
Letters from my grandfather to my grandmother, written during and after WW1
On my father's side:
Family Bible (entries going back to 1838 although Bible is dated later)
A tankard won by my grandfather in a race in 1897
I also have various books given as prizes to my parents etc.
On my ex's side, he's got a shove ha'penny board made by his grandfather from the wood on the bar in the pub he ran.
I think my sons will probably chuck most of these things in a skip, but you never know.
The emotional items far outweigh the financial items Nel. My Dad’s Sunday School Book that he was presented with is priceless
