What's your most treasured possession?

I started thinking about this after posting on the thread about the Hatton Garden robbery. We've been burgled several times and the few family treasures we had, none of them very valuable, have all gone. My engagement ring went years ago. I feel very guilty about my DMiLs silver candlesticks which she used to hide securely every time she went out. I put them on them mantelpiece when they were passed on to me. I feel equally bad about my aunt's mantel clock. But I can't think of anything else I would call 'treasured'.

And yes, my old family photographs are very precious to me. I have scanned many of them into the computer, and a lot of them are stored in Dropbox so there is a little bit of peace of mind there. I should get all of them scanned and into Dropbox, or even on Flickr now that the storage limit is so huge. One of the oldest photos I have is of my Great-Grandmother at 18 years of age, so that would be in 1877.
