My Xbox 360 console will be turning 16 this year!
I still use a stepladder that my parents bought (used) in the '90s.
I have my grandparents cookware.
That pyrex and fireking stuff is legendary.
Metal Dance Dance Revolution Mats…
I have swiss army knife, it’s 19 years old so not quite 20, i use it everyday. I take it on every longer journey and there’s virtually no situation where it doesn’t help in some way… even if it’s the silly toothpick, I’m always happy to have it.
Kitchen utensils, Cupboards, furnitures, framed pictures, our car & some tools.
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+.
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.
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 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.
That’s really awesome! The history of the machine.
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.
Craftsman multimeter(maybe 25 yrs). My uncle gave it to me. It’s from the durable era of consumer electronics.

My tabletop radio was made in 1958, it’s still in perfect working order.
My entire living room audio setup is from the early 1970’s.
Our kitchen has a Kenwood mixer/multi-apparatus from 1982, I changed the motor grease ~10 years ago and it works like new. Most of our kitchenware is inherited and at least 50 years old.
My oldest guitar is from 1950’s and the newest maybe late 1990’s.
Now that I’ve come to think of it, most part of the things I own and actively use actually predate the 1990’s.
