Your Most Prized Possession?

I'd be interested to hear what one tangible item people have that they value the most.

Everyone will say 1) Charger, 2) Spouse, 3) Health or 4) Pets, but that's not what I'm after. Think: The last thing you'd sell on eBay.


For me, I would have to say my Great-Great-Grandfathers pocket watch, which was restored by my good friends Dad not long before he passed away, so it has double meaning for me. It will be given to my Nephew once he's old enough to appreciate and care for it.

Even though it's not what you are after, honestly, it is my Charger. It's got more sentimental value to me than anything else I have. After that would be my Jackson flying V and Gibson Les Paul guitars.

My Grandfather's onyx ring.  My Grandmother gave it to him for their first wedding anniversary.

Since you can't sell wife or health on ebay (not that I'm aware of anyway) those should not be in the equation.

The last thing I'd sell is probably the Charger, everything else I wouldn't really miss.  I wouldn't want to sell any of my guitars, saxes or tools if I didn't have to but they wouldn't be missed for too long.

I do have a Bowen Superman statue (from Seinfeld fame) I would hate to let go.  I've had it for 15 years at least.

The most sentimental value piece I have is the dog collar from my little mut Dino, he died almost 20 years ago, I had him since I was 6 and loved him more than anything.  When we just got him my brother made him a little leather tag you could open up and wrote in his name, address and phone number, no chips in those days.

You said not to say it was your Charger, but that isn't my prize possession that I'll never sell, it's my Satellite Convertible that I've owned since 1984.  :D

Putting the car aside though, it's probably just a few personal items that don't have much monetary value. Those items are things that my Mom had, or saved over the years & gave, or gave back to me before she died this past February. She didn't save much over the last 10 years or so because she moved several times, so the things she did hang onto were important to her. There are several, but here are two....

First one is a stuffed rabbit I named Painter because of his overalls. I had it from when I was 3 or 4 years old & I dragged it everywhere. I wore it out to where it should have been tossed in the trash, but my Mom stitched the rips & made him new overalls.  :lol:  She gave the rabbit back to me when my daughter was born, but I thought his hat got lost over the years. Surprisingly, my Mom had it & gave it to me when she found it in a box of things. Painter can now wear it proudly again.

My Childhood Buddy, Painter:


The other item is a drawing I did when I was 19 or 20 in college. I always had trouble drawing people but had a design professor make it easier when he said, "Draw what you see." It didn't hit me until a year after I had his class what that meant while I was sketching an album cover, King Crimson's "Red". Instead of drawing a face, I drew portions of the shapes & shadows until it looked like a face. My Mom swiped the drawing after I finished it, had it framed & held onto it for almost 30 years until she gave it back to me.

I think we had the same teacher, that's how I was taught.

The parameters of the question make it tough. You said no Charger (that IS my number one sellable possession). Obviously you can't sell your health or family. I really have no idea. Guitars, tools, my great Grandfathers pocket watch, My grandfathers 30-06, My Dads Belgium Browning A-5 12 gauge auto? I have no idea! :scratchchin:
I may be schizophrenic but at least I have us!

My now long gone Grandad's {1909-1999}, set of 1950's McGraeger Golf clubs, old bag, golf shoes,tee's marker & balls... It was his prize possession, my Grammy also gone {1911-1989}, would only let him buy a few things back then, they were on a tight budget {he died a millionaire}, Grandad loved them old clubs, that makes them very special to me...

OK, even though RM asked us to exclude those 4, I still have to say that my better half would definately be my most prized... although I'm sure she'd love to hear I ever considered her my possession!    :lol:   :slap: 

I wouldn't be able to sell her on EBAY... no one would have enough to buy her for what I'd list her for.  She puts up with all my %$#$$.  The Charger is my project, but I'm her project.   :baby:   :rotz:

Health, Family, family photos (parents, kids, trips etc.), pets and Charger are next in that order.  Followed closely behind by my golf clubs and my curling equipment...    :pity:  :hah: :angel: :RedXShoot:
