I've got a couple of heirlooms, both from my great grandfather. He was an artist.

1. A painting he created, landscape with a deer. He wasn't very good at painting deer, it looks like a pig. :-)

2. A set of chess pieces. Very well made, with lead inside the pieces to make them balance better. Really, really nice. They went to a different son than my grandfather, but I managed to /almost/ beat the one that got the chess pieces as a 10 year old. He was the county champion. He willed the chess pieces to me.
