What is the oldest item(s) in your home which you consistently use today?

I have a K55 1985 KitchenAid, the last year Hobart made them before Whirlpool bought them out. My wife scrimped for months to get this as a Christmas gift.

Also a 1947 model ER10 Shopsmith. The cast iron original model invented by Hans Goldsmith, a Jewish migrant from Germany. It was an invention that made him a millionaire. He rode the original do it yourself movement after the war. I stripped this down and totally rebuilt it five years ago, amazing quality.
