What is the oldest MSU artifact you own?

A buddy of mine bought the contents of a storage building and it was full of old state stuff. 60's or 70's era glasses, wall clock, and cooler. And a cross stitch that has become one of my favorite pieces. No idea how old it us.

I own a few Miss. A&M pieces...an old coffee mug with A&M seal, watch fob with A&M seal, and some pages out of an A&M calender from 1910 (friend of mine was able to pick up the full calender and was able to split it up without compromising the actual calender and he gave me some of the pages). Would love to add to my collection if anybody wants to sale any memorabilia...
A photograph of my Grand Dad and the 1899 Mississippi A&M College baseball team. I also have some drawings from drafting class my uncle made in engineering school from the 1930's.
Small saucer (~3"-4") w/ a picture of "Montgomery Hall at Mississippi A&M College" inscribed on it. It was given to me by a relative who was Class of 1938.
My wife has a lot of old Mississippi A&M things from around 1917 or 1918 when her great-grandfather was in school there.
She and her brother donated her great-grandfather's school uniform to the MSU library a couple of years ago. I don't know if it's ever been displayed.

My diploma.
Seriously, a 1942 Reveille from the short time my father was there before going to war.

1963 Miss State floor mat and pennant I bought that same summer when I attended a band cap there
This may not fit the criteria........
This is very special to me. A letter dated May 2, 1968 to my grandmother from G.D. Humphrey (who the "Hump is named after) who was at the University of Wyoming after leaving Mississippi State offering condolences for my grandfather's death as they were friends.

It is not really that old
but I also have a 1991 football program of MSU vs Cal St Fullerton (Jackie's first game) autographed by the King.
