And some rat taste buds!

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 razor handle was manufactured in the 50s

I have balls of yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks from the 60s and 70s. Also, most of my home appliances, like fridge, tv, washing machine, and microwave/oven, are about 20 years old and working perfectly.

Same. 1956 Gillette Super Speed. They used to make great stuff.

Honorable mention for my truck. 1997 F-150. Turns 28 this year, just put a rebuilt motor in it, hoping for another 20 years.
A pair of toe-nail clippers my grandfather gifted me. I'm guessing late 1940s. As far as I can tell, it was something he bought from the on-base military store as things were winding down after WW2. It's rugged in a way you wouldn't expect - it was clearly built to last, well, indefinitely. Has this excellent leather carrying case in military olive green that is also wildly over-designed. Not flashy, just built to last.
It really makes me appreciate - we used to know how to make things here (USA). And we were so good at it, even the dumb little things could be built to last.

One of my bike's is 30 years old, and I use it all the time.
But as far as oldest stuff I still use, probably things like certain furniture, tools, and kitchen stuff, which would have been inherited from grandparents who have long passed.

kitchen radio. It is one of the first portable tube radios, built 1958 or 1968 (dont remember). Internals died a few times, retro-fitted by a UKW radio receiver, then an MP3 player, now its a Raspi radio. It runs most of the time if I am at home

Oldest thing I use frequently may be a 100~ year old ring.

Looks dangerous as fuck but pretty cool!
How? We have stairs like this near a few pubs and restaurants. Though made of metal.

Although I have some games that are 100s or even 1000s of years old, but that is a set of rules rather than a physical thing.

I have a cupboard from 1789. I use it to store stuff, so yeah, I use it every day.

A spoon. One Sterling Silver spoon that I have used in my coffee cup since 1978. It has survived every move. It knows more about me than any human on Earth. It has become so ubiquitous that I get really annoyed if I misplace it and I will look for it before that first cup.
I have no idea why.

My pocket mirror had a copyright date of 1914, but it's reasonable to assume it's a bit newer than that. It's probably around 100 years old.

I have a Brazilian bottle opener that was a marketing gift from a store. The phone number has 4 digits.
Is it any different than regular bottle openers?

You can still find them for $5 in thrift shops, just need to be able to tell the difference between the good stuff and the crappy stuff.
Does anyone have any tips on how to tell them apart?
