Does it hold sentimental value? Has it just lasted ages?

I still have toys family members gave me when I was born.
I have a knife with a handle made of Mastodon tusks, it used to be my father’s. I have carbon dating paper work which dates it to 25000 bce. By far that’s my oldest object.
I have a stuffed Abu from Aladdin I’ve had since about when it came out in '92
Bought specifically for me? Super NES and games.
Technically the oldest items are 2 wall clocks I inherited that are from late 1800s, iron skillets that are easily 75-100 years old and a Stanley OG thermos that’s from the late 50s.
My dad created email addresses for me and my siblings when we were born. I still have it, but I wish I didn’t. I’m just way to lazy to switch.
Probably my copy of the book of The Fox and the Hound, that my parents read to me when I was like toddler age. Honestly it doesn’t have particular sentimental value other than I think it’s cool to still have something from basically when I was born. And it’s a lovely story too.
The runners up are probably my two acoustic guitars that are both in disrepair. And a red and blue flannel shirt that has somehow lasted about two decades and never aged or even lost a button.
The original dice from the D&D basic set from the 1980s. The numbers were grooves cut into the die and I had to use a crayon to fill them in so that they’d be more legible. Very sentimental about them.
I was about to say Magic cards, but my Chessex dice are older. I auctioned the books, but kept the dice, yeah. I swear to you, I rolled ones on all of my dozen or so d6s once. That was wild.
A copy of Junkbots, Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels book I got about 25 years ago. That’s when I started my electronics hobby. It’s hard to get back to it with the motivation/enjoyment I had before. Holding on to it, maybe the motivation will come back .
I have a teddy bear that my parents bought for me the day I was born. Made this an easy answer.
The hospital gifted me mine
Mine’s a blue bunny.
You show me yours and I’ll show you mine ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
Probably some of my old SF books. I’ve definitely had many of them for more than 20 years. There’s probably one I’ve had more than 25 years.
A copy of Pokemon Yellow I got when I was a little kid. My dad bought a gameboy bag that had a few games in it for like $5 from his coworker. Pokemon was basically my childhood, I loved playing it.
i migrated when i was 25 with just one suitcase, so easy to narrow down to objects i brought and still have 22 years later, which would be 2 passports, one T-shirt that doesn’t fit since long ago, and an altimeter, which i brought because it is small and i used to be into climbing
I have a “marble hornets” shirt from back when they released season 1 on DVD. It’s frayed to hell but I still proudly wear it on occasion.
This hourglass I stole in kindergarten. It was used to measure time for brushing teeth. It also used to have a suction cup, but over the years it partially decomposed.
I have a playstation 2 memory card somewhere :3, I had that since I was like 4. and yeah I just kinda kept it for the memories… my mom found it years after our ps2 broke and was gonna toss it but I took it
