What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

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 wallet was a gift on my 12th birthday.
I am ollllld.

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

Genuine question , in this context what is a jumper?
Clothing

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.

Our staircase was built over two centuries ago, and still does its job!
Looks dangerous as fuck but pretty cool!

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.

Apparently we are just the brain and eyeballs(and female gonads) piloting a meat sack of Theseus.
And some rat taste buds!

Do you have no fear of splinters‽ Cause I know those stairs would give me a splinter just by looking at them wrong

Same. 1991 RCA!
Damn I thought I was doing well with my 21 year old zanussi.

What do you do with the Commodore?

Games, mostly.
Also, I wrote the 2024 NaNoWriMo novel with it (and did the same in 2017). Can easily fit a daily sprint's worth of text in memory at once, heh.
I use a few modern add-ons: an SD2IEC drive (lets you use floppy images straight off an SD card) and EasyFlash3 (lets you use cartridge images, including the ability to pack random programs into utility carts).

In terms of actual daily use the oldest thing that I can actually date would be the table my computer sits on - that's been in the family since at least the 60s (when one of my uncles scratched his name into the drawer). It's just a basic solid wood desk, still holding up fine and unless abused will continue doing so for quite some time yet.
Aside from that some of my dinner plates are over 30, the motorbike I usually commute on is a '97 model, and the butter knives I like are not dated but I believe could be anywhere from early 1900s onwards (faux bone handles, made in England with various Sheffield makers marks).
I do have a few tools, cameras, and telescopes around which are also reasonably old but they aren't daily use items.
