The first is the clock on our mantlepiece. Owned by my Great Uncle - restored by my Dad and given to me by my parents for my 18th Birthday:
And then a ring given to me by my parents for my 40th birthday. The ring itself was made new, but the Ruby belonged to my grandfather, and was taken out of his signet ring. It's a bit of a big rock...
This will sound corny but physical things mean nothing to me. My family means everything - and as long as I've got them I'm happy.
I did have, and subsequently lost a close family member's engagement ring. I was mortified at the time but after a while soon realised that it's just an inanimate object and is no substitute for my memories of that person.

A photo of my Dad in his war years in front of a Lancaster bomber with a whole load of flight and ground crew. Not even an original photo so no intrinsic value whatsoever but means a lot to me.

(Dad is standing immediately behind the man kneeling on the far right)
A couple of old books which I love - Erling the Bold by R M Ballantyne, which belonged to my mum (and maybe my grandfather before that) and The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber, which belonged to my dad.
And a few random ornaments which I've had since I was a kid - a kangaroo money box, some old Corgi cars and things. I'm quite sentimental about anything I've owned for a long time.
Also my silver St.Christopher's medal which I have had since I was 2 years old (33 now). It's been on a few various chains, but the medal is the same.
That said, I'd have been very, very sad if the tree that went over yesterday had taken the workshop out. Fortunately it went the other way and just trashed the neighbours' gardens.
When there is more on it I'd probably grab my backup hard drive, which has my photos and lr catalogue and operating system image or whatever its called on it. Easier to carry than my (Admittedly small) alienware computer.
I love my cameras though. My digital kit is really there to just get results - I'm more attached to the film stuff.
