Quarantine20 Scavenger Hunt!!! ...The winners...!!! :D
Something from another country
I purchased both my Namus from a Canadian seller, so I consider Edgar to be Canadian. Here he is in his Calgary Flames shirt holding a postcard by grandmother sent me from Niagara Falls in the 1980s.

Oldest thing in your house
I have a bunch of old photos and other ephemera from my grandmother's scrapbook. The paper reads, "To Christina, May your cares all fly away/ Like dew before the sun/ And when you've nothing else to do/ Just think of Jake for fun. Your cousin, J. Mayer" and on the side it says Carlstadt (that's a town in my area) Nov. 19th 1883. I'm not sure exactly what year the photo's from, but that's the Christina to whom the note was addressed, who is my great-great-grandmother. She was born in 1869, so I think the picture appears to be from the late 1880s or early 1890s.
They're being propped up by the Underwood, which is probably my oldest non-paper possession!

And now I think I'm all caught up, except for the grand finale picture!
