My phone is late eighties/early nineties era.  Has a little list under the handset of phone numbers, including my gran from Manchester, who died about 18 years ago.  Isnt even touchtone so have to use mobile for those calls.  So about 25 years old, surely someone can beat that.

A set of dessert knives given to my parents as a wedding gift so circa 1951. Quality British craftsmanship of Sheffield steel and Indian ivory. Been in daily use for 63 years. Will see me out and future generations.

I heard a version on the radio a few weeks ago sang by a woman. I assume it was an original, but it was our end of term sing song so had never heard the original.

A Prestige pressure cooker 1967 - didn't use it for a while but when the sproggs came along realised that it was perfect for boiling nappies. Eventually used it for the correct purpose to good effect ie: perfect vegetables.

Just remembered that I have a full canteen of cutlery from 1970.

"Viner's Studio" which was pretty avant-garde at the time and I still use it often during the day.
