In response to "Poll: what do you think is the oldest thing you own? Just came across a copy of a catechism from 1903 -- (link)" by prayformojo

I have a book printed in 1565 with an ancestor's signature in it, and a personal letter written around the 1780s.

The 1500s book is in rough shape, with the covers detached and water damage, and not of any special content so it's not valuable. The letter is neat though because it's basically a soldier's love letter to his wife.
