I have a Doll Collection that has been handed down. The oldest is from 1950. I've added several dolls since the collection has been mine.
Although..... Now that I think of it.... I have some pictures of relatives that are on tin or metal. Not sure when they were taken.... but they are old. Not the relatives (they're deceased) .... the pictures.

I have an mp3 of a recording of Scott Joplin performing the Maple Leaf Rag back in 1907. I recorded the mp3 direct from a vinyl copy I had of this. The vinyl copy itself was rare, and the actual recording was made by placing an original piano roll that Joplin recorded in 1907 into a modern piano, miking it up and letting it play.
It's just beautiful.
Other than that, not much old stuff really other than more old recordings.
