What's the oldest item in your home that you still use on a regular basis?

[iRONic]

The toilet.

This house was built in '79 and I bought it in '86 so I'm assuming the throne is original. Earlier today I replaced the water line, tank gasket, and handle. It should be good for twenty more years.

The refrigerator back at home is a year or two younger than me, placing it at 16 or 17 years old.

 

[Number1]

Technics Receiver Amplifier.
I purchased this in the late 70s. Still works OK.

 

[erub]

my desks were taken from an office from the 80s..but since I don't have a date on them, I'm going to go with my king-sized bed..bought in 1983, belonged to my parents before me

 

[Baked]

My sony dream machine radio/alarm clock.

I have a GE clock-radio that has been waking me up since 1984.

My alarm clock is that old as well. My parents bought it before I was even born. I took it when they upgraded to a new one 10 years ago. This one still works great.

dining room table my father made for me 20 years ago

 

[broon]

Commodor 64.

 

[prontospyder]

fridge - about 15 years old.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Couple of antique pieces of furniture, a soapstone washtable and a china cabinet. Both are somewhere around 300 years old. Other than that I guess it would be one of my mid 60's guitars, or the pocket knife my grandpaw gave me in 1963.

 

[Squisher]

That desk is from the 1920's

That liquor cabinet on the right was a 1950's TV


I've got a ton of these bottle openers all over the house, they're from the 1960's

[compuwiz1]

Without a doubt, my can opener.

 

[Journer]

my utensils...got em from my rents who have had them for decades probably...nice little set...

i've also had my alarm clock for a long time...

 

[spidey07]

20 year old speakers. My first "big" purchase.

 

[Madwand1]

Interesting question; make you think. I have some cameras from the 50's and 60's that I like to use (esp. TLR's). 77 megapixels! Heh.

 

[Manuwell]

A couple of really comfortable microfiber underwear.

 

[Pollock]

My bed is over 50 years old - used by my dad when he was a kid.

 

[Juno]

my favorite two blankets. parents got it two years before i was born so let's say 24 years for them and 22 years for me.

 

[KarenMarie]

Besides a set of professional chef's knives that I bought in England in 1996, everything else I own is less than 8yrs old.

 

[SmoochyTX]

A hutch, nightstand, and dresser that was bought in the early 80s when I was a young'un. Perfect condition and beautiful.

Besides furniture, it would have to be my microwave. That was given as a housewarming gift from my parents when I moved out of their house back in 1995. My microwave has been carted all over the place across country and still works wonderfully. BTW, manufacture date according to the sticker is January 1993. GE FTW!

ETA - Of course I have older stuff around that I use once in awhile but the OP asked about belongings used on a regular basis.
