    My grandfather founded a liquid propane company and I have the adding machine he used as a register. It may not be quite literally the oldest thing I own, but I consider it the coolest old thing I own.

    The sides of it are plastic so you can see the mechanisms and it weighs a gazillion pounds. My wife hates it because we’ve moved it through three houses. I love it and will never voluntarily let it go.
