An old barn with some very weathered wood. It actually has a brand new steel roof and there are plans to fix up the rest of it so thought I better get a picture before the rest of the renovation starts!  Tony |

I suspect this farmhouse was built before any of our members were born  . It's also showing signs of its age as are many of the old family farms in this area. If these old walls could speak ……. Tony Tony, I love old farmhouses! Your capture does justice to the "old" beauty of this one. I can only imagine the family history behind it. |

1938 Ford Two-Ton truck. Near Monarch, Alberta, December 30, 2019. Clive, nice finding for the Something Old theme. Great match of subject and post-processing! |

I am sure these books are older than any of our members!  They date from 1885. Judy, you just happened to capture one of my passions -- books. Beautiful! Great composition! |

This roll top desk belonged to my great grandfather kdcintx, what a beauty! It seems to be in a great condition despite its age. And what a personal history to go with it! |

Produced for the North East Coast Industries Exhibition 1929. whippet, perfect for this theme! I love how these items finally got to your hands. All in the family! |

Old is relative isn't it? These roses are from Dec. 14th. They are certainly not fresh anymore but have a unique beauty due to their age. I have tried for three days to take a picture that reflects their past-prime appeal and am finally satisfied with this one. Helen, for roses, they are indeed old. You definitely captured their "age" Three is a charm! |

This old power station sits beside the Thames at Chelsea. It opened in 1905 and at its peak supplied power to the entire London Underground network. Coal fired, it was decommissioned and finally closed in 2002 but is currently being converted into residential and retail units. Its iconic façade and twin chimneys will continue to be familiar landmark. Brenda Brenda, what a finding -- an old building being given a second chance! Great idea going for a portrait-orientation; it enhances its vertical architectural details. |

The timing of this challenge is perfect. This is a toy that my wife's grandmother handed down to her mother - we suspect that it dates back to the late 1890's. We use it as a Christmas Tree decoration. This slate box was carved by my Great Grandfather, Louis A. Peters. I'm uncertain about it's intended use. Pete, two interpretations of Something Old, both with the bonus of an interesting history. Priceless! |

It may be old but it is beautiful! Great job capturing the weathered wood details. |

@ Peter. I didn't know if dominos were as popular in USA, as they were - and still are, over here. Whatever use your grandfather made the box for, it looks beautiful. Sorry, I thought I was following on from Peterj..  |

This may not look it, but it's pretty old.... this railroad bed in northeastern Colorado was graded by horse and manpower more than 100 years ago. A lot of muscle and sweat went into this cut and fill. This was taken just minutes before sunset, so the day was pretty old as well.  |
