What's the oldest thing in your house that still in constant, everyday use?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) February 10th, 2015

My kitchen table is solid yellow Formica topped chrome and the matching chairs are padded vinyl and chrome. I knew the exact date from a magazine advert, but I think about 1948. The previous owner had glass cut for the top, and it’s still in constant, everyday use. Amazing, thinking of the fiber-board products today!

I tried to buy a Daisey wall mounted can opener from the 30’s-40’s yesterday and failed. I remember having that as a kid, with an ice crusher attachment.
