I think my oldest Archie item is Pep Comics #58 from 1946. My grandfather found it at a used book store about 25 years ago. If I remember correctly he only paid two bits for it. It's in pretty decent shape. The cover's attached and it is complete. Since he passed away 8 years ago I would never dream of letting it go. I also have a smattering of issues from the early to late 50's. B & V #14, Jughead's Annual #2, and Archie's Christmas Stocking #'s 3 and 6. I'm nearly 40 now and would never dream of giving up my collection. I still read most, if not all of them.
