My oldest unbuilt kit - which also happens to be my oldest never-been-opened kit - is a Lobaugh O-Scale reefer kit which dates from the late '50s, early '60s era.  Rollin J. Lobaugh quit the model railroad hobby ABOUT the time I got started in 1962. I did not buy this - it was given to me by the owners of the funeral home which handled my grandmother's funeral arrangements in December of 1990; the original owner of this particular funeral home (which is in Rigby, Idaho, by the way) had had an O-Scale layout in the basement and I had heard about it from both my grandmother and my in-laws several times so I took the opportunity to inquire of the new owners (the original owner's sons) if it would be possible for me to see the layout if it still existed; it did and they were thrilled to death and to thank me for my interest in their late father's hobby they gave me this unopened kit. I'm an N-Scaler so its rather unusual for me to have an O-Scale kit in my possession; but this will get built and become a display item in my railroad room.  NOTE: these kits are "less t/c" which is why I've never opened up the box to even look at it.
