I haven`t got to play or hear it or any of my other records in 15 or so years. My granddaughter was playing with my (1982) Technics turntable when she was about 4 and broke the stylist. Someday I will get something to listen to them again. I plan on giving my albums to my grandson who loves music as much as I do.

Mine is also a Rem 700 ADL in 270. Bought at OTASCO while I was in High School , Probably 1969. I bought 3 rifles while I worked there,
still have all three , should have bought a bunch more and left them in the box. Should have spent more $ on guns , less on beer and
chicks.

My first pistol was a Taurus .38 special revolver that I bought from a part time police officer I worked with @ Winn Dixie in 1977. I could not hit $hit with it and sold it shortly thereafter.

I have my high school gym bag from wrestling with our logo on it. Bought it back in the late 70's, Also a fishing pole from 1996 that i still use and it is my favorite. Caught a lot of big bass on that rod.

Oh man, let me think about this. I have trophies from when I was a kid bowling around the age of 9.

I wanted to buy a Remington BDL and not the ADL but I just didn`t have the extra money. I had just moved out 6 weeks after graduating high school and supporting myself 100% so money was very tight for a poor kid. I somehow saved up enough in 2 months after I bought the ADL to buy a Redfield 6x scope for 69 dollars that stayed on the rifle until 2008 (41 years). I sold it to a coworker for 60 bucks. Not a bad return.

I still have an ABU Garcia rod (pistol grip) with a Zebco 33 reel on it that I bought in 1978. I carried it behind the seat of my or in my toolbox of my 1979 GMC Heavy Half until I traded it in 1987.

a wooden toolbox I made in Cub Scouts for my Dad (~1969)

In 1955 when I was 15 years old. Over a long period of time I finally saved enough money, $54.00, to buy the Winchester pump action 22 rifle that I had been admiring at the local hardware store for a long time. My dad carried me to town and waited for me in the car while I went to the store and bought the gun. I walked out with the gun that I had dreamed about for a long time. Squirrel hunting was my passion as a kid. I still have that rifle that I earned the money for by picking cotton and hauling hay for neighbors.

I mail ordered the "Harry and Charlie" hard cover series from Bassmaster back in the early 80s. I still have them on a bookshelf.

Yeah, it’s not a great pistol, never could make a tight group with it. I gave it to my wife for her bedside gun. I’m pretty sure she would have to throw it to hit anything with it

A pancho liner I brought back from Nam the first time in 1968.

Don't know why but I still have two Duncan Yo-Yo's I bought with money earned selling coke bottles. I think I paid 25 cents apiece for them.

I'm kind of this way too....I don't know of anything that I bought that I've had more than 10 years. Of course in my 20s I didn't spend money on much of anything.

Great question though - going to ponder on it a bit and see if I can remember anything.

Honestly it's probably my wedding ring - had 18 years this year. Almost none of the tools I currently own are more than 10 years old because I was too poor in my 20s to be able to afford decent quality anything.

I've had my Colt 1911 for about 7 or 8 years. Bought that with my own money and won't ever sell it.

I have many things older than that - all inherited. My dad's 1997 Triton bass boat that he bought new sits in my shop in near-mint condition. Got a Colt 1917 and a Winchester pre-64 model 94 that I got from grandpa. Couple of old shotguns that were dad's. Some tools I got as Christmas gifts in my 20s that I still have. Nice Husky toolbox that my wife got me when I got my first shop 13 years ago. I just didn't spend my own money on any of it. Too much of a cheapskate I suppose.

Some Republic of Texas promissory notes/currency from 1838-1840 signed by Mirabeau B Lamar, some CSA currency, and a Winchester 1873 made in 1888 are the oldest things in my possession.
