Do you have any very old, regularly used, everyday household items?

I have a radio from the 50s. Ekco, E.K. Cole,valve job. Takes a while to warm to the task but gets there in the end.

My parents clock. Bought in 1934

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.

My grandfather's clock. It was too big for the shelf so it's been stood on the floor about 90 years.

Thanks taxi.

If an 18 year old Gameboy Pocket counts then yes.

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.
