I have a shotgun from the 60's. Was my great grandfather's originally. Ithaca semi Auto, Japanese barrel.
Cold weather reminds be that I have occasionally dragged out my dad's old sheepskin winter hat. Originally issued to WWII Luftwaffe airman. He picked it up somewhere the winter of 1944-45 and removed the Nazi badge and wore it himself. It's not an aviators hat, definitely for ground crew.
Yes and so was my great grandfather.
Cast iron skillet from my grandmother. The skillet is Probably 90 years old.
My car, 2011 Lexus that still runs like a dream. No car payment is a dream year after year!
My youngest son dates a young woman who's mother runs a "turtle rescue" in Connecticut. When he told us the story, my first thought was, "turtles can live a lot longer than humans - doe she have a successor or perpetuation plan for the care of these disabled turtles."
I have a newer 4' level and also a new bullet level but I use my Grandpa's wooden 18" level for intermediate lengths. You can barely see the original manufacturer markings on it so I looked it up once and that model was only made in the late '40s. He was a carpenter and you can tell by how worn the wood is that he probably used it pretty much every day from the day he bought it until he retired at 80 in the 1980s.
Pioneer Sx727, circa 1972. Bought non-working on EBay….replaced all the capacitors, cleaned up the pots and some solder joints, reset the idle current and replaced all bulbs with leds. Listen to it roughly 10 hours a day 6 days a week.

Yeah, I have a friend I have known for years and she has five rescues one of them near 100 years old.
