A pump action Rifle... I'm 18...
I have a single-shot bolt action rifle from 1920.
I got mine as a gift from my grandmother, I have no idea what year it's from (late 40s would be my guess)...

I have an old wind-up pocket watch. The kind they used in like the 1900's. It's awesome, and it still works!

Hmmm, retro-tech, let's see... I have a fully functioning Atari 2600 and 20-odd games, a Commodore 64, Amiga (no tapes though, sadly), an IBM XT with black&green 8" monitor, a beta-max video-tape player and a 286 toshiba laptop.

In my personal possession? My mom's walkman.

The VCR, not nearly as old, still works too. My bet is on the typewriter and ham Radio paraphenelia.

Okay smartasses. Something FROM THAT ERA that is considered Technology.

So unless you have THE FIRST pointy stick or THE ORIGINAL wheel... it doesn't count.

A Miller High Life neon sign circa late 1970's
A pair of JBL L26 Decade Hi-Fi speakers also from around the late 1970's I believe. Most modern systems can't hold a flame to these bad boys.

Not really tech, but I wear a bracelet that my grandpa made from a wrecked Japanese airplane in WWII. According to what he scrawled on it, it's from 1944.
