A Tupperware yellow strainer.
I have a 100+ year old singer I sometimes still use. The old machines are very sturdy and can punch through leather and canvas. It was my great grandmothers, then aunts, now mine.
my HP Printer / Scanner from 1998
Almost invaluable rn.
X10 to turn off/on a couple lights remotely. It uses radio waves so no bs “smart home” data mining app. This thing

Metal Dance Dance Revolution Mats…
Whirlpool washer and dryer from the 80’s. They came with the house and they are INVINCIBILE.
I have my grandparents cookware.
That pyrex and fireking stuff is legendary.
My first Costco purchase was 19 years ago, my Philips 47” LCD TV is still alove and kicking and has outlived 2 other TVs we have had in that time.
A wall clock that was gifted to my grandparents on their marriage anniversary, and I’ve been fighting everyone in the house to keep it.
That clock is close to 40 years old, and still is functional. It’s a simple clock made in Germany. No protective glass or a seconds hand. Just a plain clock that has turn brown over time. Everyone in my home thinks it’s trash. I think it’s an engineering marvel.
I thought you meant you were competing over who gets to be the owner, but no. Keep fighting that good fight! Perhaps inviting your household to its 40th birthday will win hearts and minds.
A lot of my books. Two harddrives in my server. My couch. My tables. My chairs. My bike. A computer case. A laptop.
Some are not just over 20, they’re over 50 or in some cases over 100. In one case more than 300. I’ll let you guess which would be which.
The laptop is 300+.
can it run doom?
I still use a stepladder that my parents bought (used) in the '90s.
Thanks to a particular YouTube personality I imported a toaster from the US and converted it to run on 230v. My modifications aside, it’s from the late 1950s and still works perfectly.
Many kitchen and furniture items but if you are talking about things that usually go obsolete, a CRT computer monitor from 1984 (Commodore 1702).
I have an upright piano that was made in 1914.
In retrospect I wish I had gotten a newer/smaller piano… that thing weighs as much as a small car and it’s volume is more appropriate for a concert hall than a house.
We got it from a piano restoration company that sold it to us for just the cost of moving it because they have too many ancient uprights that no one wants.
