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 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

A Kenwood amplifier made in Japan in the 80s.
2007 Toyota Corolla.
Osprey backpack I bought about 12yr ago. -

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.

wrote last edited by [email protected]My body. Had it all my life and I'm planning on using it until I die. Or until I can put my consciousness in a robot body if that becomes possible first.

My dick. I've used that every day since I was born.
The dresser in my bedroom was my dad's and it's older than me. I think it's around 50 years old.

I have a Stanley mug, bought it in 96 when I was working in construction. It's been kicked off scaffolding more times than I can count.
Used so much that the green started coming off ten+ years ago. So I sanded it off and it now has a brushed stainless look.
The lip cover has been gone for at least 15 years, worked well when it was there though. The mug is far too big to fit in any cup holder and has been tossed around mercilessly in every truck I have ever owned without spilling a drop up until the day it broke off.
The lid has chew marks where sharp puppy teeth of my long dead forever friend had himself a munch.
I can't see ever replacing it and I don't see it ever breaking to the point I'll need to.
I also have a knife in the running that would fit the question.

My razor is from 1912.
Straight razor or safety?

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.
Might wanna have that wiring in your house checked out, that 50s wiring can be a little on the sketchy side.

We have a formica dining table made in the 50s, I think. It looks cool, is in great shape, and I love spotting them in older movies.

My keyboard is almost middle aged
IBM Model M. I bought 3 at a garage sale in the late 90s, 1 for use 2 for backups, and I've never needed the backups

AFAIK, it's only two outlets on the far end of the house. The only things I have plugged into them are some lamps (with LED bulbs) and phone chargers. The rest of the house was re-wired in ~2013 or so. Not sure why previous owner didn't do those last few outlets, but at least the rest of the house is up to code.

wrote last edited by [email protected]When my grandma passed away, we had to sell the family farm that had been in the family since the 1930s. While mounting the massive undertaking of cleaning out 100 years of stuff from 2 houses and 3 barns, I stumbled upon 2 old wooden cheese boxes being used to store screws from a brand called Blue Ribbon Cheese. I googled it and that was how Pabst Blue Ribbon survived prohibition. One sits in my sock drawer with a few pocket knives for me to choose from each morning.
I don't use it daily, but I also have a 3 foot long homemade level with my great grandfather's initials carved in it. He died in the 1950s but it could be older than that.

My house was built in 1955, same year my parents were born. I’m not going to count that though. I have a pair of high speakers from the early 70s that get daily use.

Probably the silverware that I grew up with.

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.
I use those shark blades. Just the right sharpness and they last me 2 weeks each.

I bought a 1200w power supply in 2013 that is still going strong. Daily driver I've moved from case to case as I have upgraded over the years.

Man, I wish you could still get a leather belt for $5. Good luck finding one for $50.
Got a farm and fleet or a tractor supply near you?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I still have the black wooden chest my great-grandmother and her son (my grandfather who only died last year) kept all their belongings in when they fled westwards from the Russian army in 1940s Germany. The chest itself was probably built quite a while before that, but I don't know how old it is exactly.
I fold up my pants and place them on there every night.

I have 2 jumpers that date back to 2009ish. Have not found suitable replacements for them sadly.
Genuine question , in this context what is a jumper?
