My oldest is a Single Six from April of 1955.
My newest is a New Vaquero in .357, from late 2022.
My newest could also be my MKIV 22/45, also manufactured in late 2022.
Now, the first Ruger I ever bought was a stainless .357 Blackhawk. I bought it used back in 1980. I sold it to a buddy. No pics. He still has it.
My most recent purchase is a .45 convertible. I bought it it in June of this year, and it was manufactured in 2008.

This is my oldest Ruger, a .357 Blackhawk Flat Top I bought May 1958 in Paso Robles, CA, while I was based at Camp Roberts.
Grips are mesquite made by Cary Chapman. Case hardend colors by Doug Turnbull.
And my .44 Special New Model Flat Top bought May 24, 2015:
The stag grips were on a New Model Vaquero.. I bought the Vaquero, replaced the grips with the black plastic Ruger grips, sold the Vaquero and bought the .44 Specoial.
Here is the .45 I bought for the grips;

Well, we used to have Bearcat D456, and a '58 Flattop .357, but those became something else. I guess my oldest any more would be a .44 Carbine, an oldie that's mint but doesn't see much range or woods time, though it's killed deer and likes Federal American Eagle 240 jhps at 100yds pretty well. My newest by manufacture would have to be my LCP Max, which sees daily carry.
ETA; of note, looking below to see the "Similar Threads" listing, the top title happened to be "Your goal, take it out and shoot it" That was meant to be seen by me, and I have nearly 2 full .50 Cal cans of .44…
