Could have been worse. Had you said it you might have been "beaten because of it".

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.

A circular broiling pan. Was my parents back in the 50's and has survived many moves and now broils fish and meat often. Love it

My mother passed down 2 cake plates, one was her mother’s and one was her grandmother’s. I use them both. I also have my dresser from when I was a child. It reminds me of sharing a room with my older sister. Her dresser was bigger, but mine was made by my dad.

My Lagostina set of cookware from my first apartment in early 80s. Those stainless steel items are indestructible!

That’s funny that you mentioned, Germany. I know a guy that loves grandfather clocks. He went to an auction & there was a grandfather clock that was stored in an attic & was in pieces. He decided that maybe all the pieces weren’t there, it sold for $75. all the pieces were there & it got rebuilt & resold for $150,000. Oh yea it was foreign wood that he never heard of. It was a big OUCH on my friend!

My Mom uses her old Bible. Or maybe it was my Dad's. It has been around a long time. Probably from the 1950s or before that.

We have older stuff but it is not used very often.

A 1982 Lotus BJX canoe that was the personal canoe of Mike Galt, the founder of Lotus Canoes in Tampa (neither the company nor the founder are still with us). Mike Galt then was one of the best freestyle paddlers in the US and a superb boat designer, and hence the BJX one of the most beautiful canoes ever built. Guess I should say IMHO here. I'm the third owner and have paddled it in Florida and the Adirondacks and the Boundary Waters, plus Temagami, Algonquin and the Maritimes in Canada (for long trips).

I had a Technics turn table ca. 1976...not exactly like that but close enough to stir up some pleasant memories, likewise the receiver.
Nice!
