My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

in the spirit of the question...my most treasured possession is probably my penknife. I've had it for 18 years* now and at the time it was the biggest eff-off Victorinox Swiss army knife you could buy. It was a present from my aunt.
I tinker with things. I need to have some basic tools on me at all times and this penknife serves that purpose admirably. The pliers are invaluable; the pen and tweezers, always useful; multiple screw drivers;corkscrew and bottle opener, savour of many a BBQ and picnic; scissors and blades. Don't have much use for the fish descaler, though. It sits permanently on my belt, a bit like a lightsaber.
It was most recently used to undo the window locks at the local pub because we wanted some fresh air.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't risk life and limb to retrieve it, but I would replace it as soon as possible.
*and in those 18 years its only been replaced 3 times. The original was lost during a post A-Level canal boat holiday, v2 was misplaced a couple of years ago but two wonderful people independently saw my sadness and bought replacements v3 and v4. And then I found v2.
