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.

Cordon Bleu pots and pans, purchased by my wife before we were married in 1963. Use 'em every day.
