Last week, while I was studying at the library, I took out my calculator and realized that I have had it for 7 or so years now. Perhaps the item I have had for the longest time in my possession is my SNES. Anypony here have things they have kept as far as their memory can recall?
I have an entire desk in my room dedicated to memorable childhood objects. Prolly the oldest artifact on that thing is my 11 year old stuffed wolf from Great Wolf Lodge. I love that little thing :3
Being the idiot that I am, I got rid of all my Legos. So my longest kept childhood item would be my Nintendo 64. Four working controllers, all my games work, and endless nostalgia when I pop in Ocarina of Time. Speaking of which... But the longest item in my possession that I value just as much is my (You guessed it) Doom 2 CD-ROM. It's scratched to Hell (Get it?), but it still reads.
For me, my longest kept item is probably my Space Jam blanket, which now sits folded up in a drawer. That thing has been through a lot, but is probably the best blanket I've ever had. Other then that, I have a collection of books that I've had since I was like 9 or 10.
I have a big box full of all the old books I had since I was small, and another full of my toys. But my oldest possessions are probably the two blankets I had as a baby. One is pretty much a bundle of threads, but I'm never getting rid of it.
I've had my Gameboy colour for a good 13 years, I've still got all my games and for it and they still all work...Man I'm feeling nostalgic now...
My longest kept item is my SNES too The documentation for it says it has a lifetime guarantee, so far so good. I don't know what my next longest kept item would be, the SNES wins by a mile.
My oldest has to be my crystal ball. A large glass orb and light I picked out almost 13 years ago now. I love that thing, even if it is for all intents and purposes a glorified night light, back then, I thought it was magical. I miss being naive.
Alarm Clock: Using since I was 7. Currently 23. Smiley Face Pocket Watch: Got it from my grandpa right before he passed away when I was 8. Blaster Master(NES): Still works in a console. Been playing since I was 4 or 5. Y2K Spaghetti O's: Unopened can from 1999.
Oldest is probably the teddy bear/dog (it's a dog) I was given practically at birth which I still have in my bed. Next would be my PS1 complete with all the old old games I used to play on it, some souvenirs from ages past holidays.... Oh and my Rudolph Christmas stocking from nursery.
