What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?
-
I have clothes that are more or less 20 years old. Kitchen utensils that are 25 years old.
But I think my body is the oldest thing I have that still works, more or less.Same. I'd like to find a replacement for the left foot (or at least the left big toe) but I can't find any, anywhere.

My jansport backpack is probably almost a decade old by now. Same with some of the t-shirts I have but they can get kind of smelly if I sweat too much.

I've been using the same coffee cup almost every day for the last 50+ years.
Yup, I'm old.

My recently acquired Technics hifi system from the early 2000s from which I listen to the radio, my music tapes and my CDs.
And my old Telefunken HDTV from 2006. It's remote doesn't work anymore but that's okay.

I have some old wooden chairs at the dining table that could be old. Certainly before 1940s.

A manual coffee grinder from about 1910.
I figure I need it because if the electric’s broke I’ll need coffee to fix it.

I have a refrigerator from around 1988 or 1989 that still works perfectly. Around 1999, it stopped working, so we bought a new one. We didn't throw away the old fridge because we used it to store plates and cutlery, but we were sure that it was completely broken. Then, last year, a technician saw it and told us that only a component needed to be replaced for it to work again. Lo and behold, the damn thing was revived, and after a two-decade slumber it worked again as if no time had passed.

Still using my microwave from my wedding. It's from 2009 and it's a Panasonic. Also my Kettle is from around that same time too and still chugging along, it no longer beeps though.

My car’s 25 years old. Can’t think of anything else.

A Gillette open comb safety razor from the 1930s. But it's had the handle replaced with a Gillette tech handle from the 40s.
In an image search, I found someone selling the exact same Frankenrazor which leads me to believe this may have been a popular mod back in the day.

An old generic pocket knife I bought in a mall shop back in 2001.

I'm in my 40s now, so I guess my body.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I have a 100 year old porcelain doll. Her name is Agnes, she has real human hair and is definitely cursed. Does that count?
Other than that, I have a pre-WW2 windup clock that still works perfectly. It's a solid steel brick.

Gem razors ftw!

I can’t believe how automatic it is!

My apartment is from 1865 but "own" is a little tenuous... Beyond that it's probably down to probably 20 year old cutlery or my tv stand which is actually a crate that's around 100 years old

I have a mix of hand tools like scrwdrivers, wrenches, and hammers inherited from my father in law who said some were from back in the 60s that I use as needed.
They are still in decent shape so they get put to good use regularly to make up for being left in a closet for a few decades.
