What is the oldest thing

you still use on a regular basis. Home or work.Mine is a 1940's radio I use every day. The sound quality is superior, only problem is I can't get all stations.

Re: What is the oldest thing

I did have a 1958 Sunbeam Cake mixer, but replaced that in the last year or so with a new one

 

. It was still working, but the small glass bowl (the one I used the most) slid out of the cupboard when I was getting something else out and broke on the tiles. It tripped the power cut out switch  sometimes also.

My Epilady circa 1980s that still rips the hairs out of my legs and until recently my 1970's Mason and Pearson hair brush that recently gave up the ghost.

Re: What is the oldest thing

My house was built in 1910, so there are quite few "old"  items used daily eg the front door and windows
