What's the oldest thing in your house?

Saw this question on FB this morning and thought it could be quite interesting. The oldest items we have are DH's grandmother's silver candlesticks and a silver christening mug from around 1830.

Several shark teeth picked up on the beach in front of my house which are about 54-56 million years old.

I can imagine that the oldest thing in the house is normal salt, I've no idea how old it is I suppose it depends on where it is found.
Our oldest piece of furniture is an old dark oak coffer
(A long wooden box you can also sit on) Its from 1690 and we bought it as a investment apart from liking it standing in the hall. We bought it in 1994.
Antiques are no longer sought after and at the last valuation it had lost 80% of what we had paid for it. Apparently there are too many in the UK and no customers
