I am proud of everyone here. I was certain this was going to turn pornographic the moment it appeared - LOL.

My husband's Norelco electric razor, in daily use. By 1966 it was already some years old when he was drafted by the Army at age 24 to go to Viet Nam. By then, he was a busily employed as a licensed journeyman electrician. In the communal bathroom at Oakland Army Terminal, where several hundred men had gathered to be shipped overseas, he was shaving with his Norelco, when a fellow draftee started this conversation:

"Hey, Dummy, pointing at DH, why did you bring that (razor), don't you know you won't be able to use that over there?"

He replied, "Don't worry, I'll be shaving with this razor when generals go unshaven."

"Yeah, how's that?"

"Because I'm the generator mechanic."

He and It survived and It continues to serve him faithfully, 55 years later. And, in case It fails, he has the identical model inherited from his father as backup.

A set of knives given to us at our wedding from my aunt in 1969, we have several kitchen items yet from our wedding. Also have a set of Mabel Black Label beer mugs from around 1964.

It no longer amazes me the immature replies that I see on posts. All appear to be from males.

Well at least some of us matured. I think/remain hopeful that we are the silent majority of males.

I have one of the first pool cues made by JOSS CUES. I bought it in 1968 for $85 from a guy who lost all his money in the pool hall.

My mom's waffle iron. Prior to 1947 and still working, but I rarely use it. My Cuisinart turns 43 this coming Christmas; it's in continuous use. The only part I've replaced is the bowl.

Wife still uses her 54 year old Kenwood Chef Mixer. Just a couple of minor parts replaced over the years.
Mind you, it takes two of us to lift it these days!

The duck down feather pillow my grandmother made me when I was 2-3 yrs old. She gathered the down & feathers from her own flock of ducks that she grew on her Texas ranch. The casing is cotton and hand-stitched closed. It's survived many, many washings/dryings over the last 65 years. Can't sleep without it!

Purchased a set of stainless steel pots and pans when we got married and 49 years later still have most of them.

I bought a Gibson J-45 in the summer of '68. Joined a rock band in '70, sold the Gibson and bought a Strat. Wish I still had the J-45.
