    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.

      Not sure if fruit trees would pass the “use daily” criteria, at least not in the generally acceptable sense.

      I have a workshop that was converted from a barn quite a long time before I was born.

        I think my laptop, a Samsung Notepad with touchscreen. Before I got it it was already used and has been with me for more than 10 years. A couple of years ago I gave it a new life by installing Linux and I hope it will last me another 10 years.

          A plastic stepping stool that is probably older than me. It holds a subwoofer off the ground so that the downstairs neighbours don't get thumped too hard (they have never complained).

            My "TV" is a (modern) 36" LCD computer monitor hooked to a 2011 Dell Latitude E6400.

            My washing machine is a workhorse from 1997. Can't say I use it daily but multiple times per week.

            Some of the wiring in my house is still original from '55, if that counts.

              I have 2 jumpers that date back to 2009ish. Have not found suitable replacements for them sadly.

                I have a cheap plastic hair brush my mum bought me over 40 years ago when I was about 6 or 7, she said it cost a dollar and surprised I still use it daily.

                There is nothing wrong with it, so it lives on.

                  I use my great grandfather's bottle opener. It's magnetic and sticks to my fridge, and it's over 100 years old. Works great!

                      My car and also my scooter are from 2009. I use them (for commute) alternately depending on which season it is and if it's raining or not.

                        I have a Brazilian bottle opener that was a marketing gift from a store. The phone number has 4 digits.

                          I've got a couple of cast iron skillets from the early sixties that I use pretty much every day.

                              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.

                                Man, I wish you could still get a leather belt for $5. Good luck finding one for $50.

                                  A Leatherman wave I purchased when I first started working and they had just come out. Blade holds its edge and everything still works smoothly. Plus I have worked out a one handed flick to fully open the pliers.

                                      Hmm, probably my weightlifting gloves. I've used them at least five times a week for ten years, but they are starting to fall apart.

                                      Still a great buy for $15.00.

                                        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.
