What do you cherish that's old?

No, no, no. That was the 1950 Model!

Actually, the dice and the hula girl are a little ahead of their time for 1947, but I'm sure many a same year car sported either one in the 50's.

My first car was a 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe, and it indeed came with a pair of fuzzy dice, but they weren't pink.

Spoiler:

The car was a few years old when I bought it, so the dice may well have been aftermarket accessories installed by a previous owner.

I have a model of a very early glider from Germany for more than 30 years hanging from my various ceilings.
Last week I managed to rip the cord and have it shattered to bits and splinters (I never had the wings covered and the glue was a bit sensitive to light and humidity) but now already on a good way of repair.

My collection of vinyl jazz albums. I still sometimes get them out and play them when we have guests over.

Illuminated Manuscripts. I don't own one yet, but I would cherish it if I did. Lol.

For now, why not settle for one of those fancy e-book covers with the built-in LED?

I totally forgot about those. I have a mixed collection of vinyl albums, including the Beatles' White Album. It was sealed, but one night years ago, my son found the cabinet and was curious why it wasn't opened yet... So, he opened it. Instantly lost value, but I still kept it with a few others when we moved and occasionally play a few.

I still have the teddy I got when I was 2yo and a drawing my Ma did for me and back then.

... or you could make your own. I did. So it isn't very old but it did take me more than 10 years to do it. Most of that time was spent not doing it, of course. I only finished it recently so it doesn't really count for this thread.
I put it in a video so others can take a look

My actual old thing is a fishing float Mrs and I found on a beach near where we both grew up (Opotiki, New Zealand). She wasn't Mrs then, we were just kids, but it was about the time the relationship became more serious. And we found this big glass fishing float wrapped in rotting netting and barnacles. We cut it free using scraps of shell, didn't have a knife, and it has been with us ever since, usually parked in a corner of the lounge floor. I stop noticing it for a while then I spot it again and remember that day.
