Just wondering what passes the test of time? I personally have an old Casio watch and if you count fruit trees, those are pretty old too.

My '97 car?
Clothing? Furniture?My wallet is the last piece of leather I will ever own.
Not exactly daily but the shovel I use to clean out my grill ashes was my grandfather’s, hand forged and used for branding iron fires, gotta be 100 years old. Then a phonograph from 1960.
My flat was built in the 70s. So probably that. My violin is much older but I don’t play much these days (certainly not daily).
The old, big chest we store stuff in under the stairs is from 1883
‘Stuff’.
No questions please.Yeah, stuff. You know - stray boxes of Lego, some shoes, keys nobody knows what opens any longer…
I think there might be some pillows in there? Probably spiders.
My house is from 1884 so that’s used pretty often.
I’ve moved continents so I haven’t brought too many older items with me generally speaking
Holy shit, same. It’s either 1884 or 1887, i’m not sure.
“Heet” liniment. I have an old bottle found when my father died. It still burns but it helps with the arthritis and other pain.
3 piece safety razor from the 1950s. And soon a watch from 1950 too. Its a wind up watch.
I have a Razer mousepad that I’ve used for probably 15 years now.
Used to use a double edge razor from the 1960s, I still have it. Gillette Slim.
I just use a modern DE instead, 2015 I think. Feather AS-D2.
Both of them will probably outlast me. Especially the Feather, even though it’s newer and therefore theoretically made with less care, it was made in Japan, and it’s entirely stainless steel, not pot metal. Very strong. You’d need to run it over with a truck to break it.
If cared for, nothing is stopping the Gillette from going another 60 years either.
- house, built in 1900
- me, built in 1974
- pocket knife, built in 1994
I have a Marvin the Martian mug I got in 1995 for my 10th birthday. I don’t use it daily, but every few days for sure.
I have a drip coffee maker that’s gotta be almost 40 now. It was given to me by an older family member when I moved into a new apartment. It still works fine as far as I can tell…
I have a washcloth I got when I was like 6… I’m almost 40. It’s a really nice mesh washcloth and somehow it only has one extra hole that shouldn’t be there, as well as a seam for the edging that needs to be fixed.
I’ve used it almost daily for my face that whole time.
But the oldest thing I have that I sort of technically use is a wheelchair from WWI. It functions as a chair in my living room. I don’t really think it counts, being furniture, though.
That’s cool. Where’d you get the wheelchair? Got a pic?
I have a teeny tiny screwgate carabina from about 1997 that I use as a key ring.
