Your most cherished item from your past

What item in your past made, you happy, or important enough, to make you cherish it and either keep/remember about it even to this day?
For me it's two things. One was a blanket made by my grandmother that my mom used, then was passed down to me. It sadly isn't around anymore, after decades of wear and tear, but it's the closest I've had to a security blanket. Second is a teddy bear, that I keep out of nostalgia, that my mom bought 4 years before I was born, to give to any child she had when they were born. I was the only child she has so she gave it to me. It has still lasted for over 20 years and it still gives me a sense of comfort for some reason even to this day when I see it.

(I am not insecure or anything, it's just they have a large nostalgia factor to them.)

Rusty spoons

Edit: I don't really have a cherished item from my past but I have a lot of stuff from my past that are still around

I personally have tried to avoid such nostalgia, however I do have some serious love for the old Amiga 500+.

When I was really young (about 4yo) my dad had one with 1000's of games and I spent many happy hours playing on it. I finally bought my own when I was about 16 (10 years ago, damn that's scary!), but it got lost in a house move :-( I was well gutted...

I will most certainly track one down again at some point :-D

My Pooh Bear.
I still have him.
His entire face has been smushed by childhood hugs.
I'm never getting rid of him.

Probably my Steam account, although it's not all that old.
Insuch, a shirt.
When I was living in a no-where-sort-of community called Grand Forks, there was a Youth group called Christian Service Brigade, or 'Boys Brigade' as it was guys only. Every year they came up with a new original shirt for all members, and I want to keep at least one of them a very very long time.
It has the design on it similar to the old Pepsi Cola bottle cap except it reads "Eternally Refreshing JESUS CHRIST".

Back home I have my teddy bears and my ALF from when I was a baby, but I don't have any cherished childhood items where I'm living right now. The oldest thing in my possession is probably the C Drive from my old computer (4.5 years old) which I am trying to get a new tower for.

My bunny. It was a rabbit, and Its name was actually bunny.
I took him everywhere until I was about 8. And I mean everywhere.

My first teddybear, tiny and brown, which I got when I was a few months old. I used to sleep better with it. Still have it :)
