What is lying around your home that was in your childhood home?

Patty Play Pal... my mother, 75, had her when she was a child. She is ~3ft tall and looks real. About the size of a 2-3 year old child. My mother has me store it for her and it freaks me out, so she lives in the closet under the stairs. Now accepting thoughts and prayers...
 

Sofa, coffee table, end tables, recliners, marble table, bookcase in my living room came from my parents house. Mantle clock in the family room too. Coffee table, end tables in my family room came from my wife's mom's house. Secretary in the living room too. Grandfather clock in our entry way came from my wife's father's house.
 
My parent's china.
Brought to my mother from Japan by my uncle in WWII

My baby dolls....twins. Pixie and Dixie.
 
a few couple of serving bowls that when mom was clearing her place out just held so many memories I could not part with. before I was born my dad worked as a bartender-i have his old bartending book.



My Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, 70 years old and still going!

I still have mine too as well as a few childhood books
Secretary in the living room too

same here. it was my great grandmother's who brought it over from Ireland to England and finally the U.S. seeing how my grandfather was the first U.S. born member of that side of the family and he would have turned 130 this year it's construction is impressive.
 
My mother’s sewing machine. A mid century couch and a cane and wood chair from the ‘30s. Various pieces of tableware. Oh right and the bedroom furniture my grandparents’ son bought for his first wife.
