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.

Pegs that was used to hold logs together in the old log house that I was born in and lived in for 18 years. My great grandfather built it but I don't know what year.
Also, the house I live in now was built in 2003 and the light bulbs in the bath room are still working...haven't had to replace one.
