10 oldest known examples of their kind

.

Here is a fun and interesting article from SmithsonianMag.com, about 10 of the oldest known examples of everyday things (shoe, flute, soccer ball, photograph, Apple computer...), and where you can see them up close and personal.  (The computer is right here in southeast Michigan, at The Henry Ford, which we have visited many times.)

I encourage you to click through and see the images of these objects.
