I have the teddy bear that I was given the day I was born. It sits on my shelf in my room. I also have a nearly 50 year old Steiff duck.

 

[tvguy]

My Teddy Bear given to me when I was born. I slept with it for years, so much so ALL the fur was worn off. Still have it 66 years later.

 

[fla4fun]

A small pig toy that belonged to my dad when he was a toddler in the 1930’s.

 

[#1hoosierfan]

A stuffed dog I got when I was six. I slept with him every night until I got married. He is still on a shelf in my closet.

 

[E&Cmom]

I have some of my childhood dolls.

 

[sailorstitch]

I have a small wooden wagon that was my grandpa's childhood toy. It's probably from the late 1900s or early 1910s.

 

[SpaceMan5]

Some of the original Star Wars action figures released in 78'
Darth Vader (unfortunately, not the most valuable one), Luke, C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewie, Solo, Boba, Storm Trooper.

I have no idea how I was able to keep them along with my baseball card collection and many other items from my childhood.

Thank you Mom for not making me part of the "My mom threw out my baseball cards" club.

I still have our Barbie house from the 70’s and several dolls.

 

[Luv Bunnies]

I have a Minnie Mouse doll from the 1940s. My grandma bought it for something like 30 cents back then. She kept it in her living room where the sun hit the back of it in the afternoons. Unfortunately, the back is a little faded but otherwise it's in pretty good condition. It's the one thing I really wanted from my grandma's house after she passed away. I have it all wrapped up and stored safely in a closet. I have no idea how much it might be worth, but I'm not sure I would even want to sell it because it belonged to my grandma.

I have no idea how much it might be worth, but I'm not sure I would even want to sell it because it belonged to my grandma.

I am gonna take a guess here and bet that none of us would ever sell these items because of a sentimental connection??

Maybe, maybe not? For me, I will let future generations decide this and I won't be one of those rolling in my proverbial grave if they want to sell or dump them. I enjoyed and appreciated them but it is up to them to decide.

Mrs. Beasley. She's about 55 years old.

 

[lynxstch]

My original Raggedy Ann doll that I've had since I was 2.

 

[smilie]

I have a stuffed Kermit the Frog from when I was 3.

 

[disneychrista]

My first thought was the playskool McDonlads sitting in a box on the shelf in my closet but then the Teddy bear mentions makes me wonder if it the bright red Christmas bear I have. No clue the story behind the bear.

 

[NYCgrrl]

I found a Matchbox car belonging to one of my sons among Mommy’s belongings. Which son I have no idea and am not asking as it’ll start one of those silly who loved who best discussions. Sometimes I wonder how old they really are…
