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 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 on 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?

I have a ninja turtle cereal bowl from when I was a kid that I still use. It's from 1988.

Straight razor or safety?
Safety single edge. The only razor I’ve ever been comfortable with.

Gem razors ftw!
My absolute favorite! And a good pickup on your side. Gem gang represent.

My razor is from 1912.
I came here to say my safety razor from 1932 that I use daily, but you beat me by a couple decades!

I find it so surprising that the single edge gem blades didn't take over the shaving world, compared to the standard double edged safety razor. The angle is built right into the razor head, it's essentially idiot proof!

My dad was friends with the guy who designed the Aztec Hotel. He didn't want regular light fixtures originally, so he came up with an idea for lighted columns, and he made a prototype table-lamp sized. The was in 1925. The prototype is in my living room and I use it every day.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]A Mackie mixer and two nearfield speakers I bought 25 years ago still see hours-daily usage. When the fancy Kenwood tuner died 2-3 years later, I replaced it with a Boss 50w/chan 12vdc transistor amp that still never even gets warm.
Speaking of Casios, I have an F-105 [1572] 'Illuminator' that's 20 years old and still using the same battery. It gains about 1 minute per year.

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.
Jansport, yep have a green, leather-bottomed one 20 years old still used weekly. One zipper is sometimes a bit sticky.

Common sense probably.
Most of the things I use are a few years old but nothing crazy old. Some t-shirts are maybe 10-15 years old in some cases, I guess that’s old for some. I have a lot of hand tools that are maybe 50-100 years old but they get less use.

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 was going to say this… but depending on how old you are the term “use” gets a little loose. It performs bodily functions.
