What is the oldest object you own that is still in daily use? Mine is the Old Spice shaving mug from 1970.

Me.



Other than this old bag of bones, I have a number of items (furniture, etc.) from the 60s and 70s still in regular use, though I wouldn't say daily.

I’ve been carrying the same Swiss Army knife for about the last 30 years. Use it almost daily for something- usually multiple times.

My Kenmore two slice toaster. We got it as a wedding gift in 1965.

I've got a 1957 Coke machine that I get a beer out of every day. Haven't had the Coke machine since 1957 though.

We have a microwave oven that we bought new about 36 years ago. Still use it every day.

LOL, like many of us, older is better.

With tools, many older QUALITY tools simply have not been bettered, just cheapened to attract more buyers.
Designing quality is counterproductive as factories need volume to survive.

We still use the microwave that my mom and dad (both long deceased) bought in approximately 1975 (45 years old).
My wife wants to get rid of it, because it does not have a turntable.
Why?
It still works just fine!
