My teddies! They are from childhood. I have a box full and take them out from time to time. Growing up I didn't like dolls. Nope give me a teddy bear 🐻 🐻 🐻 or a action figure. 😤😤😤
My guitar and amp. 😔😔😔😔 I loved my grandaddy and would sit a listen to him sing and play his guitar. I wanted to learn so he'd let me play on it from time to time. When he passed away he left it for me but my fingers cramp so bad I can’t play with it long. It sits in the corner of my room for anyone to see though.
Lastly I'll say old computer hard drives and an old projection TV. The tv...😔😔😔😔. I had a teacher back in middle school who took a liking to me. She gave me a lot of things I never asked for and years went by it was like she was my godmotheror mentor...until she wasn’t. I tend to somehow make people feel like I don’t care about them when I actually do. I don’t understand it but it hurts when they leave. She left me this long message and varnished. The TV has great speakers but since I'm now more conscious that I have neighbors...and I basically don’t watch tv, it just sits there.
The old hard drives I keep in hopes to uncover my lost creations. Music, animation videos, and some things I wrote.

A white King piece from Grandpa's chessboard.
My grandfather was the one who taught me chess. When I visit him on vacation, we play for hours, game after game, much to my grandmother's annoyance.
He's so good that even though my game had significantly improved over the years, I was never be able to beat him. Then one day, I check mated him, and thrilled by having done the impossible, I snatched his check mated King and ran around in jubilation. My grandfather was smiling all along.
But, in the midst of all the celebrations, I forgot to return the piece to the chess board box. It was still in my pocket.
I didn't find the piece until the next day, when I got home. It sat on my desk for several years. I kept it because it reminded me of my time with my grandfather, the thrill of playing chess with him, and most importantly, it showed me that if you are persistent and dedicated, you can win in life.

I keep a small ceramic bell, (not my taste), because it belonged to my favorite Aunt, and my cousins gave it to me after she died.
I also keep a pin that belonged to her, which was given to me after her death.
AND I keep a small Civil War era photograph, inside a tiny case, that she gave me when she was still alive.

@Musicman My Aunt found it when she was exploring a small crawl space in my Grandfather's house, (2nd floor), under the eaves. We didn't know who the woman was. My mother used to say that it might have been her Great Aunt Daisy, but I think it is far more likely to have been a relative of the people who owned the farm and the house before my Grandfather bought it. She is a mystery.
