A local synagogue had the best rummage sales and they always had a Judaica table. One year, there sat an old wooden box with pieces of olive wood on the outside and some very old Hebrew lettering inked onto it. I'm still not sure how old it was, but as old as me at least. A piece fell off and someone took it home to glue and promised it would be back later (wouldn't let me buy it as it was). I got it later for... $3.
