I have a 1930’s wind up record player with 78 LP’s. Also have a 1950’s era formal dining set bought used in the 1970’s. It Survived moving 14 times!!!

Still regularly use a Tartan socket set purchased from JC Whitney in the 1970’s. Works better than the current stuff from China!!!

I have an original Bowie knife bought in 1958 when I was 13. Carried it in Vietnam for 12 months.
Still use for outside work on occasion.

I have a wooden shafted putter from by Grandfather. Guessing it is from 1900 or earlier.

An old Desk & Chair that was given to my wife 53 yrs. ago from a gentleman who died when he was 93 yrs. old, who said it belonged to his grandparents. So I’m guessing it 150 to about 200 hundred yrs. old. The desk is all hand carved. Like to find out how much it’s worth!

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.

Aluminum drinking glasses from the early 50's when I was a child. They were filled with cottage cheese in the day, delivered by the daily milkman. They still have my teeth brace's marks on them, other than that they look new.

Moved here in 2010. Added/changed all of the paddle fans in the house because I anticipated having issues like we had up north (wobbling, clicking noises). These store-bought fans have run almost day and night in most of our rooms for the whole time - and there hasn't been an issue with any of them! I'm shocked (and now I'll probably jinx them)...

A grandfather clock we bought while stationed in Germany in 1984.

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.
