My Xbox 360 console will be turning 16 this year!
I still use a stepladder that my parents bought (used) in the '90s.
I have my grandparents cookware.
That pyrex and fireking stuff is legendary.
I have swiss army knife, it’s 19 years old so not quite 20, i use it everyday. I take it on every longer journey and there’s virtually no situation where it doesn’t help in some way… even if it’s the silly toothpick, I’m always happy to have it.
Metal Dance Dance Revolution Mats…
Kitchen utensils, Cupboards, furnitures, framed pictures, our car & some tools.
About half of my books.
I’ve a bunch that are over a hundred years old.
A lot of my books. Two harddrives in my server. My couch. My tables. My chairs. My bike. A computer case. A laptop.
Some are not just over 20, they’re over 50 or in some cases over 100. In one case more than 300. I’ll let you guess which would be which.
The laptop is 300+.
My first Costco purchase was 19 years ago, my Philips 47” LCD TV is still alove and kicking and has outlived 2 other TVs we have had in that time.
Almost everything is more than 20 years old, build my house in 92

Joke reference from a Tool song, Hooker with a Penis.
Anytime someone refers to '92 it’s mandatory
OK ,strange people those murican guys,
Even without having built my house, I’m so old that many of my belongings are over 20y old, and have been in my possession for that long.
A wall clock that was gifted to my grandparents on their marriage anniversary, and I’ve been fighting everyone in the house to keep it.
That clock is close to 40 years old, and still is functional. It’s a simple clock made in Germany. No protective glass or a seconds hand. Just a plain clock that has turn brown over time. Everyone in my home thinks it’s trash. I think it’s an engineering marvel.
I thought you meant you were competing over who gets to be the owner, but no. Keep fighting that good fight! Perhaps inviting your household to its 40th birthday will win hearts and minds.
An ice cream scooper from the 1940’s with a mechanical scoop releaser and a bread knife from the 80’s, both random bits that were passed down the family. Nothing special, just very well made tools. Also a Hala desk lamp circa 1950.
My aunt has a 40’s era sunbeam stand mixer that works perfectly… just needs a new electrical chord. Most things are made to be replaced now. Those not so much.
My sister in law got my mil’s KitchenAid stand mixer that my wife carved her brother’s name into when she was a kid. Works like a champ.
Oh yeah I have a monstrous Vorwerk juicer that, judging from the design, is from the 1950s or 60s. Works perfectly.
I never had to fix anything for the over 20y I had it.ice cream scooper from the 1940’s
I’d say that is special
I have a 100+ year old singer I sometimes still use. The old machines are very sturdy and can punch through leather and canvas. It was my great grandmothers, then aunts, now mine.
That’s really awesome! The history of the machine.
The house itself: 1880
KitchenAid stand mixer
Marble base metal stand lamp
woolen poncho, bought for $20 at a craft fair in 2004
multiple dressers and bedframes
multiple vintage SciFi hardback books
wooden chairs salvaged from the University of Chicago Harper Library
homemade quilts
Soccer jersey from 2004
duct tape wallet assembled in 2003
cardboard box for Arby’s curly fries, collected from a dumpster in 2002 to pack favorite Lego builds for storage in the summer before going to college, plus the Legos themselves
…huh. I’m genuinely surprised at how many things in my home aren’t twenty years old.
Same here, it would be quicker to say what’s newer than that. All the new shit broke so there’s not that much left.
