That's funny. We have a hand mixer we got as a wedding gift that I wouldn't trade for a new one. I use it mainly for mashed potatoes. I think we got married in '84.

We've got a Gold Star microwave that we got as a wedding present in 1985 that we still use daily. It has a timer knob, a defrost button, and a cook button, and that's it! The original lightbulb is in it too.

Haha, hope she don't read this thread!
We got some mid-century modern furniture, that's probably the oldest thing we got.

I have and use a 1968 Sears Craftsman circular saw. It is totally all polished metal, including the knobs. It was my Dad's. I don't use it every day, but when I do, it cuts perfectly!

Haven't used mine for a year or so, but I have a Sears arc welder I bought when I was 18, so that one is 42. Still works fine.

Mrs.tiller's brother bought her a used dining room table for a graduation gift 42 years ago. It's the only one we have ever had.

Mines a Mongomery Ward power kraft 230. Purchased in 1975. It's 45 years old. I switched the leads to 1ot wire and replaced the ground clamp and rod holder. Added some length to the leads as well so I can reach anywhere in the garage and about 20ft into the driveway.
You can use carbon rod in it as well, but haven't played with that yet. It's been a year since I used mine as well.
I found some old tractor seats at a junk shop. One of these weekends, I need to fire up the welder and turn the seats into stools
