long term use

We have an antique cabinet in our master bath from England; made during the reign of King George, yep, that one, from the Revolutionary War period. We use it every day.

The oldest thing I use every day is my house.
It was built in 1730......so will be 291 years old in January.

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

I have one just like it, bought the same year. Old Spice had a Christmas special that included the mug, soap, and brush.

Not in daily use, but I still have my grandfather's brush scythe that is probably 100 years old. I use it once in a while to clear blackberry vines. Oh yeah, I have his Solingen 1 kg. cleaver, who knows how old, and his splitting axe. I use the axe all the time for splitting kindling.

I have a lot of them. I have a Cuisinart I bought in the late 70's early 80's and it is used at least once a week or more. Same blades, same accesories.. All my stainless-steel All-Clas pots and pans from the early 80's. All my Heinkel kitchen chef's knives. All my 60's Craftsman tools.
