heirloom (noun)
 
A family possession handed down from generation to generation.
Do you have a family picture that has been handed down from an older generation? What is your favorite old picture or item your family has cherished?

I have a picture of my great grandparents and they were riding  in a horse and buggy.

Yes I do have a favorite heirloom from my grandpa, the heirloom is this one solider helmet from the Vietnam war that was passed down from my great great grandpa to my grandpa and now my grandpa is passing the helmet down to me and wants me to pass it down to my kids.

The item that came from an old generation was the helmet because, the helmet was just green and hard and it is dirty still from all the dirt and now the helmets are camo and have different colors for different jobs.

My family has cherished this because, no one else has ever found another helmet in that good of condition.
