Title: Your Oldest Most loved non-pony possession
Post by: gemini_pony on March 28, 2012, 05:09:36 PM
This is my plush Tiger Hobbs (named by my step-dad when we first met, before than he was just Tiger. My step Dad thought he looked like the tiger from the comic) I have had him for nearly 27 years and love him dearly!!! He has a chipped eye from my brother throwing him on the ground when I was little, and I have recently repainted the black on his eyes and touched up his stripes.

He has a "scar" on his paw as my cousin once tried to light him on fire in front of me ;__;

I still have my childhood blanket.  In fact, I still sleep with it.  Is has been remade by my mother AT LEAST 5 times that I remember.  Each time she kept either the inside batting, the front, or the back fabric . . . in its' current reincarnation it is pink soft fabric on the back, and my little pony official licensed fabric patches.  It needs another re-do though b/c it's sorta torn up at the seams.  But I love it, and I actually do take it EVEYWHERE I go.  I can sleep without it, but I prefer not to.  Even my husband understands and is OK with it.

The back story:
Dad wasn't and isn't the shopping kind. He rarely ever "picks" anything out himself. Which is why this bear is so special to me and why he's the only bear I have from my childhood.
 
I got hurt playing with my brother around the age of 12. I had 250 stitched in my arm to sew up the gashes. The following day, when dad came home from work, he gave me this pretty girl. I was in love instantly and will NEVER purge her from my life.
 
Look, she even has lashes  :biggrin:

Aw I love this thread :lovey:  It's so nice to see people have precious treasures that they've held onto for such a long time.  This little guy is more precious to me than any pony.  Sure he's gotten matted and sad-looking over the years, but I love him like crazy.  My grandma gave him to me when I was a baby, and he's been with me through every move.  Poor guy's fur's so matted though, I'd love to fluff him up a bit, but I don't want to risk messing him up.

Mine used to be a little pink bear that was given to me the day I was born but since I no longer have it.....I think the oldest thing I have is my Garfield plushie. I believe I've had it since I was four and I love it dearly. In addition to him, my Wendy's Kid's Meal Alf toy where he's a knight standing on a crocodile and my Greatest Bible Adventures: the Nativity video. I watched that video a /lot/ and I remember when I was little, running upstairs to my mom crying because it was over. I think it was also partly because the music at the end credits is kinda mournful sounding. I try to watch it every Christmas.

...well.. This isn't mine, but more like mine by 'adoption' xD! My fiance's stuffed penguin, Pengy. He's had him since he was about 13 (he's 27 now) and he is just an adorable, cute, comfy little thing. And now I realize, he needs an oxy bath. Bad. He also needs his beak fixed ;o;


I don't have any of my old childhood toys (I left home, then there was a fire in the house and my horrible grandmother sold it behind my father's back (yes, it was her house.. but she just didn't tell anyone and kicked him and my sister out) and I lost everything I had).. but my oldest, most cherished non-pony thing I have now is the Winter Build-a-Bear from 2008, the first Build-a-bear my fiance bought me <3 Actually..! I guess I can count my Eggbert beanie baby my fiance got me for my birthday this year.. it's not the same one my mother had from when I was a kid (she loved the little thing), but it's kinda the same one in spirit for me.

Mine would have been my childhood care bear ;______; I lost her in a flood, but I replaced her with a tiger (I needed something to sleep with) on a small shopping trip during the aftermath of it all, we needed some supplies, and the supermarket had a few soft toy animals, the tiger was cute and she would fill the void as such. She is probably one of my most treasured posessions even though she isn't that old, my other would be my only childhood toy I have left, a little yellow monster in my pocket cerebus (or three headed dog for those that don't know cerebus ;) ) unfortunately I lost alot in the flood and have slowly tried to rebuild things, its taken years to get to where I am at now.

Oh and floyd, I picked him up from a garage sale and he is the bringer of smiles to alot of children & adults ^^ he is my big, pink, special unicorn. He has given many rides over the years, had lots of cuddles, been used by many as a pillow, and had fun playing in all sorts of areas (even the sandpit once lol) here is a piccie of him joining in at my tafe class ^^

My family used to be co-owners in a family run hog farm and every year we'd have a big hog roast with family and friends (it averaged around 300 people) and we'd have kid's games, a pot luck, beer tent, etc.  For the first 10 ish years they had this, they had t shirts each year.  Well the year I was born, the pig roast was on the day I was due, but as luck would have it, I was born a month early!  The tshirts that year were of a pregnant pig sitting in a rocking chair knitting a baby blanket and said "Expecting?" and they made one that said "Not anymore!" on the back for my mom.  I still have the shirt, I don't wear it much anymore, it's getting a bit frail, but I just can't bring myself to throw it away, heck, I'm half tempted to frame it!

Here's mine. He's a rabbit named pink. He used to be pink and fluffy and all that. I got him the day I was born. My grandmother misread and thought I was a girl. I didn't care tho, I had him in my crib every day, then carried him around EVERYWHERE as a kid. Nowadays he stays in my pile of pillows and stuff. here he is lounging on my art supplies, as I do my best arting sitting on my bed. he's covered in tears and repairs, and his eyes are all chipped and glossy. But I don't love him anyless then I did when I was a kid.

I'd also say as an honourary mention there's my toy reindeer. He has a bell on his neck and has a Christmas hat but it long lost the bobble. I can't remember what I named him, I think I decided he was 'Dancer'

When I was younger, I -LOVED- Winnie the Pooh. For the Christmas in 4th grade, my mom got me a new WtP bed set. I've lost the sheets and such over the years, but I've kept the two-and-a-half foot tall Pooh bear. He still sleeps with me sometimes, fantastic to cuddle with or use as a pillow, and my SO puts up with him. Otherwise, it's my MLP carousel pony board game (which isn't an -actual- pony? :D)

I have this ratty old crocodile doll named Crocodile *original, right? XD*.  He's rough and scratchy, and missing an eye, but I have had him since before I can remember, and I love him to death.  I believe he is crocheted, he is definitely hand made.  My mom always hopes I will throw him out because he is so old and tattered, but I love him too much.  <3

My Blankie.  I had a different one until I accidentally left it behind in a hotel.  I was so devastated I made myself sick with it, so my gandmother made me a replacement.  I've had him (he's a boy) since 3rd grade, and I definitely have a favorite place to rub the ribbon on his trim.  Mr. Skeen understands, but I think he's a little jealous - his mother cut up his childhood blankie for cleaning rags.

But that's ok, Blankie doesn't like Mr. Skeen much either.

This is the doll I received on my very first Christmas when I was 6 months old.  Its a Fisher Price Bobbie Doll, but I named her Baby.  This is not my original in this pic, its one of many duplicates   bought off ebay.  My original is not in so good shape.  I have dropped the poor doll in a bucket of dirty paint water and her head fell off once (my sewed it back on).  But eventually I had to stop sleeping with her and she is now retired to a box.

For me its my bright pink Mattel Baby Beans doll from childhood and my mother's teddy bear that I got when I was three. These two items from my childhood mean the most to me.  The bear is really scary looking...but he has been a pal for decades.  Mom got him when she was 3 and she gave him to me under the Christmas tree when I was three.  He is one important bear.  Baby Beans went with me everywhere. She never was home alone.  I had like three of them.  She has had hair cuts, pierced ears and several iv's during her brief bought with cancer LOL.  I use to play hospital with them all of the time.  Oh the memories.  She is still wearing the same dress she always wore.

I wish I had a picture of it, but alas I'm not sure where she is to take a picture.  When I was born my aunt and uncle brought this stuffed unicorn that looks like she is jumping and is about 2 feet tall to hang out with me in the hospital after my twin died.  I never let corna out of my sight when I was little and I really would love to have her in bed with us currently, but we moved the end of December and I know she is in a box in my storage shed in the back yard.  I ended up finding my MLP collection for the most part so I can only deduce corna's box isn't too far off.

This is the oldest thing I own. I got him on my third birthday. I don't remember getting him, but He has always been in my life. According to my mother, I would carry him around and show everyone. His name is, simply, Dog. And he's missing a couple feet, but he is loved dearly <3

I have two elephant plushies that were given to my brother and I when we were still babies. His is blue and mine is pink. I'll never let them go <3 I also have two bunny plushes that my great aunt made for my brother and I for easter and I actually remember recieving them. I think i was either 3 or 4 years old. I'll never get rid of those either :)

I also have a possession that I've only had for 15 years, but it's a lot older than that! It was a "teachers bell" given to my grandmother. I'm not sure what year it was given to her, but I think it was not long after she started teaching. It has as stained glass owl on the top and has a loud, clear ring to it. It was the only thing I wanted from my grandmother when she passed away, and I was very happy to receive it.

Oh and I also have the Hope chest that was gifted to her by my grandfather when they got married. Another cherished possession I inherited from her after she passed away.

My oldest possession is a teddy bear tht winds up (though the music tines are broken D:) and I still have it and like it a lot.  But my most treasured non-pony possession is my Super Pound Puppy I got when I was in sixth grade.  It was one of the first things I bought with my own money, and I had to save for a bit for him, too.  His name's Freckles.  XD

This poor guy is so beat up.  There are parts where the fur has worn off, leaving the net-like fabric below it.  The Pound Puppy patch on his rump is waring off--the color is--and it's torn there.  It's torn on the bottom, and there's an age tear on his back, too.  his er is missing...I accidentally left him on the grass once when I went off the play...and when I found him again someone had torn off his ear.  >:C  Some little bratty creep, I imagine.  I THINK I have his ear somewhere.   I hope lol.  Anyway...I love this guy.  I always hugged him when I was upset.  He's been a pillow many, many times.

My childhood bunny, Bunny.  Got her when I was little as a prize in a Easter coloring contest.  My sister ripped her head off once.  It was awful.

And second my Yum Yum Jelly Bean Bunny.  My grandpa got him for me one weekend when I was spending the night with him and Grams.  Now that he isn't with me anymore I love my Yum Yum even more.

Oh man... I have a few.  There's my glow worm from the 80s.  She doesn't have her battery pack and bulb anymore (my dad took it out after getting irritated at changing the batteries so often on that thing).  I still have my old doll 'Bethany'.  She had a cute red dress (needs repairs... again) was a stuffed doll with plastic hands and head, and brown hair with red bows in her pigtails.  She had eyes that opened and closed (which need fixing desperately) and her head has been ripped off by a mean old dog once.  I was so upset.  My dad melted the plastic back together using his sautering tool so I could still have my Bethany.  I want to rehair her someday, as her hair is so matted and fallen out in so many places.  She still feels good just to hold though... brings me back to all our tea parties and picnics at the old farm.  And playing doctor... the severed neck helped there, haha.  My daughter saw her the other day when I was attempting to fix her hair and eyes and was practically begging to hold her and play with her.  :)  Makes me want to repair her as much as possible so my daughter can enjoy her as well.

The other item I can think of is my carousel.  I got it when I was really little... I don't know how old, but it's at least well over 20 years.  It's musical... you turn the bottom and it spins and plays a song.  I finally put it up in my kids room a while ago, and it fell after a door slammed (sigh) and broke in a few places.  I fixed it best I could, and put it up somewhere with more room so it won't fall again.  I love it.  It was one of the few 'pretty' things I had when I was little.  And carousels were always my favorite.  :)

Well mine are two of those mini plush that have clips under their fabric in the front legs so you can clip them to things. I will post a pic later. they are well worn and i have had both of them sense kindergarten. One is a white pegasus with purple wings and the other is a yellow/pink/white zebra. both are missing the tails , one ear, and my little zebra is missing an eye. they sit with my ponies though and i wish i could find more of them.

May sound silly but I have a few.  (I'll add pics later)


I have the giraffe I was given when I was born...dad accidentally threw it away when I was a teen, and I hunted for it on ebay for quite some time til I found the exact one.  =]  doesn't have all the ink missing from it's tag cause I sucked on it, but hey, it's my same old Baby.  =]


I have a stuffed dog I call Big Dog that I've had since I was three...one of very few old memories I have from way back when...I remember my great grandparents coming up my grandparent's drive, with Big Dog on Granny's lap, with a huge red bow around his neck. 


And my daddy gave me my Lamby one year for Valentine's day... (I never had someone over V-Day til this year...and only cause I ended up marrying him two days before xD.  I sleep with him every single night. 


And then there is my dog babeh.  Rough Collie and Border Collie mix, sweet and smart and handsome all at once.  I love Patch.  =] 


If it's old we are talking about as far as age, then the diamonds in my wedding ring are my DH's great grandmother's, and were passed down to his grandmother, then his mom, and now to me.  =]

That depends on your definition of old. If by "had in my possession the longest," then:

My dad won her for me at Carowinds, an amusement park, when I was about 3. I forget her original name, but for as long as I can remember it's been "Killer." If you've ever owned a small, especially female, terrier dog, then you know why :) She went everywhere with me for a time, and now she is smooshed flat, her fur is matted, and her eyes have "cataracts" from being scraped. Now she is retired and sleeps on my bed, and I have a younger stuffed dog that travels with me when my real doggies can't.


I have an older lovey named Chopees, short for Lamb Chops. He is pink and my great-grandmother crocheted him for me when I was born. He was my all time favorite, but he is not currently in my possession but my mother's.


If by literally oldest item, then this:

Sorry for the crappy photo quality. I took the picture with my left hand and the ring on my right because I cannot bear to put a ring back on my left finger. It still feels weird without one.


My grandmother's sister died of pancreatic cancer fairly young, with no children. This was her ring and upon her death, it went back to her mother (the same one who sewed me Chopees). She eventually gave it to one of her other daughters, my grandmother, who had only sons. So as the oldest granddaughter, I inherited it upon her death. I mean they literally took it off her finger right before they closed the casket and put it in my hand. I have no idea what it's worth, but very precious to my family and I.


Honorable mention goes to the black leather motorcycle jacket that my other grandmother gave me for Christmas when I was 13 because my mom didn't want me to have one. Of all the people in the world, I am most like her and I still miss her to this day.

Oh man... I have a few.  There's my glow worm from the 80s.  She doesn't have her battery pack and bulb anymore (my dad took it out after getting irritated at changing the batteries so often on that thing).  I still have my old doll 'Bethany'.  She had a cute red dress (needs repairs... again) was a stuffed doll with plastic hands and head, and brown hair with red bows in her pigtails.  She had eyes that opened and closed (which need fixing desperately) and her head has been ripped off by a mean old dog once.  I was so upset.  My dad melted the plastic back together using his sautering tool so I could still have my Bethany.  I want to rehair her someday, as her hair is so matted and fallen out in so many places.  She still feels good just to hold though... brings me back to all our tea parties and picnics at the old farm.  And playing doctor... the severed neck helped there, haha.  My daughter saw her the other day when I was attempting to fix her hair and eyes and was practically begging to hold her and play with her.  :)  Makes me want to repair her as much as possible so my daughter can enjoy her as well.

The other item I can think of is my carousel.  I got it when I was really little... I don't know how old, but it's at least well over 20 years.  It's musical... you turn the bottom and it spins and plays a song.  I finally put it up in my kids room a while ago, and it fell after a door slammed (sigh) and broke in a few places.  I fixed it best I could, and put it up somewhere with more room so it won't fall again.  I love it.  It was one of the few 'pretty' things I had when I was little.  And carousels were always my favorite.  :)

You know I may have one of those old battery packs laying around.  If I can find it would you want it?

Seriously?  From the old glow worms?  I would love it if I know it would fit!  Thank you!  :)

Battlebots!  XD  I like those hehe.

If we're tslking actual age...probably a book I have of animal stories from 1902.  Wait, no...I have some coins from the 1800s...one is from 1860-something I think.  I do have a loooot of things that are older than I am.  My stereo is at least 6 years older.  (I was born in 1976) I have a Monkees thermos from the 60s...I like old things.  : D  Especially old things that I am interested in

I don't have a lot of items from my childhood, but I have a couple of things: my oldest blanket, a hand-quilted item made for me as a baby, and a jewelry box that I've had as long as I can remember.

I have Ty Beenie Baby McD butterfly (2 actually) I don't know where they are, but I remember having them almost my whole life. I think they might be in my closet. They're pretty cute, though.
 
If you mean oldest by the actual item, then my Beatles records that my dad had stuffed in the garage that he gave to me!

My oldest most loved item ever would have to be a plush unicorn named Elinor. (I've spelt it wrong all my life that I can't bring myself to change it. XD) She's been with me through homelessness, hurricanes and hospital visits. I also have a smaller plush of Spot that's been through the same with her. haha I'll have to get a pic of them with the 'newest' joiner of honor, Tsukasa, a giant stuffed wolf.

The trio has been with me through thick and thin. :3

This thread is so sweet!  :lovey:

This is the doll I received on my very first Christmas when I was 6 months old.  Its a Fisher Price Bobbie Doll, but I named her Baby.  This is not my original in this pic, its one of many duplicates   bought off ebay.  My original is not in so good shape.  I have dropped the poor doll in a bucket of dirty paint water and her head fell off once (my sewed it back on).  But eventually I had to stop sleeping with her and she is now retired to a box.

I have this doll!  I have this doll!  And she was one of my favorites growing up; her name is Katie.  I still have mine; I inherited her from my older sisters and she was the "youngest" (after the baby doll)  of my dolls when I played "mommy."  :)

*coughs*  Back on topic, my oldest non-pony possessions are probably my Wish Bear Care Bear, whom I got for my first Christmas (I would have been 8 months old) and the Cabbage Patch Kid, Cindy, whom I got a year later for the next Christmas. 

But my best loved toy is probably the Donald Duck I got just outside Disneyland when I was four.  I slept with him and played with him constantly and he's now missing an eye, all of his buttons and his bow-tie - and I still :heart: him.  I also have a 2 foot tall Big Bird from the same year that can't hold his head up any longer because I hugged his neck so often) and a Winnie-the-Pooh from when I was six.  :D

No photos because he's in Florida, but I have this little blue bear that I got at the hospital the night I was born. Or rather my mom did. One of the nurses made him, and she gave him to my mom. He's made of courdoroy and is pretty stiff with red button eyes and a little tie, I think.

Second is my grandmother's old music box that sat on her table. I saw it all the time when I visited her every year, so I had to take it when she passed away.

This is Snoopy :lovey: I've had him since the day I was born, my Granddad gave him to me :heart: He's had various repairs to his tongue, his hat has been sewn back on a good few times and his arms are shorter now than they used to be as they worn away to next to nothing at the top! I love Snoopy!

I have no idea who this belonged to, but it was mixed in with all the old letters and stuff I found. One of the ww2 letters mentioned his name, but not WHO he was, exactly. The letter just said something about sending them a picture of something...?

I got the scottie dog when I was 3. I remember picking her out from the store. There were 3 colors to choose from, white/grey/black. She had a plaid bow around her neck, and a longer felt tongue, both are long gone now. lol. She's quite worn and I've looked for a replacement for many years but have had no luck...

This is what a white one looks like, and this one looks like it was never touched by a child. I'd like to thank a seller on ebay for the pic.

Glo worm, oh glo worm. I finally took 15 year old expired batteries out of it 3 years ago, it still worked. I think the battery on the musical part needs to replaced because that stopped working 5 years ago...
