Old Things In Perfect Condition (19 pics)

My Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer still partying like it’s 1999

Bought this in 1995 for my last year in middle school. I’m 43 now and still get use out of it.

When I came to USA and attended HS in 1994 I bought a mini Swingline stapler, now I am turning 40 soon and still using this in my work desk.

Do computer keyboards count? I restore and collect vintage keyboards to use daily and my IBM 5251 is my favorite. 1979

A good wool blanket will outlast you. This one is pre-1927. It was used for years in railroad sleeper cars. They still sell Wool blankets I have bought them online.

6

It‘s time to switch my iPod Classic (2006) for Spotify. Have been using it daily for 15 years but Spotify is just too convenient. Rest in Peace little one ✌️

TI-83 plus. Used this exact calculator when I was in high school and now use it to teach high school! Going on 19 years of ownership!

My girlfriend uses this sewing machine to make masks. Her great-grandmother bought it new back in 1925. It still works perfectly.

My 97 year old waterman 52.

One of these I bought used 15 years ago, the other I bought new 6 months ago. Take a guess which currently isn't working.

30 years ago, I received this as a gift from my grandparents. Today, I get to pass it on to my son.

My Flint hand mixer from the 1950s that I bought at the thrift shop for $6 is an absolute pleasure to use! Today it’s helping make a German chocolate hazelnut layer cake. For small jobs, it beats (pun intended) my KitchenAid mixer (which I also love though and I bought second hand 15 years ago)

My Grandmothers WedgeWood Oven. At least 70 yrs old.

Pyrex tea kettle. Age unknown, at least 75 years. Still used every day.
