My favourite antique (or collectible... since it's 40 years old) is a baby scale that my parents used on our 'pick your own raspberries' farm when I was a kid. I have such fond memories of that raspberry farm... picking and eating raspberries
(stained red fingers were the proof) and being responsible for weighing quarts and pints of freshly picked raspberries (yumm!). The farm was sold many years ago and now all I have as a memory of the farm are a few pictures and this scale -- a Nursery Queen Baby Scale, by A. R. Lite Mfg. Co. Ltd.

It has a date stamp on the bottom -- Feb. 17 1969... and it still works! Is it worth much monetary value? No. But I can't put a price on my memories.
