What's the oldest tech device in your possession?

RE: What's the oldest tech device in your possession?
We have a collection of shellac records and a few Gramophones at my parent's. Mostly songs from the 20s and 30s.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

LOL, the mercury vapor light bulb in front of one of my machine sheds is the original bulb. I'm trying to remember when it was installed, 1970s is my best guess.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I have harddrives from the 90s in the basement.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Got a Sharp EL-506A calculator from the late 70's. Got a Magnavox VHS camcorder (full size tape) from 1988.

Got my uncles old Kodak lying around somewhere. I think he bought it in the sixties.

My Polaroid Land camera probably still works, but they haven't made film for it in decades.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

LOL, I don't ever remember putting color film in that camera.

hm.  I have a typewriter that dates from the 1920s.

It is incredibly heavy.

Off the top of my head, the big box (analog?) TV in my bedroom. It's a bitch to move.
It works fine, though. Won't be replacing it until I have to.

I despise having to connect, re-connect/program shit.
