Paul, the keepsakes you shared in the link are fabulous and speak volumes about what people cherish and why.

My answer is my grandparent's antique goblet and the journal in which they tracked and described each purchase. It is endlessly fascinating and and something that brings we simple joy every time I walk past it.

I love this topic. My answer has to be my Great-grandma (b. 1881)'s flour bin. Handmade for her by her uncle, it's the size of a decent bookshelf and opens at the top. A little drawer at the bottom opens for the user to scoop out flour. I can't imagine needing the amount of flour this thing holds to bake bread for my family- it's worn, used, and my favorite heirloom.
