In reference to the article “Retroculture: Looking to the Past for Cultural Revival,” we asked: What family memorabilia or items from the past do you hold dear in your life? What time-cherished rituals have you kept going?
My treasured piece of family memorabilia is a pocket watch from my great-great-great-grandfather from the mid-1800s. Made in England. You wind and set it with a key. Still works today.
