    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 mom bought me a little Leatherman squirt on my birthday in 2010 and I've been carrying it ever since. 15 years on it's still my most consistent EDC Carry.

          I went downstairs and took one just for you:

          His thing was that he didn't want obvious electric lights in the lobby because Aztecs didn't have electric lights. But it was decided that giant glass columns in earthquake country in the 20s was a bad idea, so they didn't do it

            We've been living out of backpacks on the road for the last ten years, so it's easy to keep track of your stuff... Only item in our bags that hasn't changed is a zip-up flannel towel. It's perfect for keeping your toiletries in order, light-weight and washable, doubles as a flannel on the rare occasions you need such a thing, and has Hello Kitty on it.

            Since the bags themselves have been replaced, it's the clear winner. 2nd place is a Tony the Tiger colour-changing spoon from a bag of Frosties in 2016.

                I have a chisel from 1910, and a vice from the 1890s, the barn doors I open to get at them are from the early 1800s, and the well that our water comes from is probably a hundred years older than that. Most of the doors in our house come from its first renovation, in about 1880.

                        My mechanical keyboard. I bought a ducky shine 0 with mx blues when I first got into PC gaming about 11 years ago. I want to upgrade to something fancier but it just never dies!

                        Ducky shine zero! I have mine from probably around the same time and it's incredibly well built. Not my daily keyboard (I use an ergodox) but it is the keyboard for my gaming PC. I have the mx browns

                          Everyday tools? Scissors and knives I've had at least since 2000. (Fiskars stuff is indestructible)

                          Computer stuff? My Commodore 64. (Don't use it daily but pretty regularly, sits in a box in my living room for easy access)

                              Daily? Probably the coffee mug I've had for 15 years.

                              My favorite mug was a gift from my first girlfriend, in my sophomore year of high school. My wife hates that I still have it over 20 years later, but I just like it because it’s fucking huge. I can fit like half a pot of coffee in it. It doesn’t even have the original printed design on it anymore; It has worn down to plain white ceramic.

                                Crumpler bag, Ibanez guitar, lammy pens, and darn tough socks have all held up well

                                  Not daily my l but I've gone hunting every year with a rifle from 1971 I think it said on the licence of the old man who gave it to me.

                                      My house is from the 1950s and my truck from 2007. I also have a shemagh scarf I bought when I was about 13 - so around 20 years ago. I’ve got a Leatherman that’s about the same age, too. Then there are two military surplus jackets from Austria - one from 1996 and the other from the 1980s - though I haven’t owned them that long.

                                        Probably my razor, shaving brush and soap mug. Bought them around 2012.

                                        The soapmug is an Old Spice mug I got second hand off ebay. Not sure when it was made. 80's maybe. The others were bought new.

                                          1940s Parker vacumatic skyline.

                                          Writes like a dream and it is neat to use a piece of history.
