Yep, I sure do. I've got one holy medal that dates back to the early 1800's and several from the late 1800's. I've also got prayerbooks and a Catholic Bible that are pretty old.
But the neatest thing I have is an authentic relic of St. George the Martyr. I keep it in a special place of honor.

I have some gold religious medals( pendants, necklaces, and such) and rosary beads that belonged to my great great great grandmother (circa late 1800's).. They are in a safety deposit box with other items of sentimental and monetary value I want protected from the little fingers that live at my house, as well as fire as we live in an area very prone to forrest fires..
I check on them once every year or so when I add new stuff to the box, remove stuff or do my yearly living will and regular will updates..
I may sell them some day but not sure, They hold no religious value to me but do hold value as a relic of my ancestor... We shall see what the future holds..

I sure do. Over the years, my night table has turned into a kind-of shrine for these things. The oldest thing I have is a statuette of Jesus. My mom gave it to me way back when I received first Communion. Right around the same time, my father gave me an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus right around the same time. I still have both of these.

Yes. My husband has some of that kind of stuff. We also occasionally get those holy cards inside greeting cards from some of the older members of his family.

i found a pretty old silver rosary in a house that i bought. it has these beautiful abalone shell beads and the Mary and Christ are almost rubbed away. the former owner says she doesn't know where it came from...

Hint: They are still around. So they are not really considered old stuff.
