How about a personalized antique piece that he could add to his collection? You could try finding an antique item with significant meaning to your grandpa's past, such as an item from his childhood, a souvenir from a trip he took, or something that relates to his profession or interests.
Another idea could be getting him a subscription to a magazine that specializes in antiques. This would be a gift that he could receive multiple times throughout the year and get excited about each time a new issue arrives.
Alternatively, you could take him on a trip to an antique store or an antique show where he can hunt for new pieces to add to his collection. You could help him navigate these events and keep an eye out for items that you think he would enjoy.
Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
