I still have a book that says it was published in 1683 or thereabouts, but the book isn’t remotely readable and is completely falling apart.
More practically, I have lots of dinnerware, silverware, and the like that is from the early 1800s.
As the last person in my family (and it sure looks like the family line will end with me), I seem to end up with a lot of old family stuff that has little practical value but I just can’t quite part with.
