		<description>Bought a new Kenmore washer in 1978 when my first son was born and a gently used Kenmore electric dryer in 1979 when my second son was born. Both are still in use:at least 3 times per week. Working fine so I&#039;m not about to get new ones.  And in all that time, the washer needed repair once, the dryer has never needed repair.</description>

		<description>sansui receiver and speakers that i bought at the navy exchange when i was in the seabees. i bought them in japan in 1974.i had a reel to reel tape deck (four channel) but sold it to a guy who had a band 22 years ago. the receiver is big and heavy as are the speakers (we use them as lamp stands next to the couch) but i have a cd player hooked up to it and the am/fm radio is excellent. now that i&#039;m way on the ugly end of 50 i don&#039;t play my music loud but if i cranked the receiver up i could still break the neighbors windows out:)</description>

		<description>house 72 yrs old;

Otherwise oldest item is probably my piano at approximately 40-50 years old (built in the 60s, I think). Yes, I use it daily. This is also my favorite to mention because one of my plans is to learn tuning &amp; restoration over the next year, fixing my beloved up while learning a trade to provide some part-time freelance income after going into semi-retirement.

Oldest daily use gizmo: lamp-alarm clock maybe 25 years old

27 years old, but not used daily, a Korg Poly-800 synth. A lot of other synth/recording gear in the 15-20 years range.

Oldest thing that should be worn out but somehow, unbelievably, isn&#039;t: a pair of dress pants bought in 1990. Not worn *every* week, but probably has averaged at least 20 or 30 wears a year over 20 years. They show some age at this point and I wouldn&#039;t wear them when I have to look my absolute best, but they&#039;re still fine for an average day at the office. I&#039;ve darned the pockets so many times I&#039;ve lost count.</description>

		<description>We always keep our cars until they die. Our house was built in 1905. I have a lot of clothing, dishes, and furniture that I inherited from my parents and are 50 years old or more now.  It&#039;s not always true that cheap things don&#039;t last. Polyester and plastic can last forever in some forms. On the other hand, someone gave a me a juicer from the 60s I think that will run forever because it&#039;s made of steel I think, certainly not plastic.</description>

		<description>My husband purchased a box fan back in 1987 for $10.  He finally made me get rid of it last year because it rattled loudly more often than not and the plastic was dry rotting.  I was happily able to Freecycle it (with full disclosure of its condition).

We also had a 1974 Nova, my old high school car, until &#039;08 and would have it still if a woman hadn&#039;t hit it and totaled it (no injuries thankfully).  But the insurance paid off well.

I guess the oldest thing I still use is a hooded towel used on me when I was a baby (40+ yrs ago) and I use it on my dogs still today.  I also have some sheets and pillow cases that were already old when I was a child (one of them is on my chair as I type this).</description>

		<description>Does my old cat, Girlcat, count? She was 22 years old when her kidneys finally wore out a couple of years ago. I bought her for $25 from a pet store, and who knows what kind of mixed up pedigree she had. Certainly beats these poor designer pets that get dumped when fashions change. Now she is buried under our lemon tree - do I get extra points for recycling?

Can&#039;t say we had a replacement lined up ready to go. Eventually we agreed on a little Maltese dog because he&#039;s still small and cuddly, but a lot easier for us to take with us when we travel.</description>

		<description>Our house - 100 years old - many modifications over the years, but some original parts are still in place.
 
Dresser that belonged to my grandmother perhaps 80 years old?</description>

		<description>Hmm, well probably a glass cup which I just broke last week. Or if that&#039;s not really &#039;wearing out&#039; then we&#039;ve done some major home repairs, so the roof and windows were worn out (really and truly worn out, not just for looks, the shingles were curling, and some windows had their seals broken). Something I&#039;ve personally worn out was my laptop power cord, I often move it around and the reinforced area right near the head often ends up bent, so it slowly frayed until one day it snapped right off.

Oldest everyday use: probably our dining table, as we got that free from my aunt who&#039;s had it for at least a dozen years. Otherwise most of my older stuff dates back to college, since that&#039;s when I actually started owning my own things.</description>

		<description>When I was 18 I purchased an Igloo Playmate ice chest and 34 years later I&#039;m still using it.  Everytime I use it, memories flood back to me of all the good times it represents.</description>

		<description>Mine would be our floor lamp I bought in 1974.  It is brass with a beautiful marble base.  My guess is it is from the 1930s.

bought it at a thrift shop for eight bucks.  re wired it and it still is going strong.</description>

		<description>Our Caloric stove, purchased by my great-grandmother in 1958, is still going strong. (and if it breaks we can fix it ourselves, it&#039;s so uncomplicated an appliance). 

Last thing worn out was a 1920s wringer washer. We were not sorry to see it go.</description>

		<description>What a coincidence! This morning I sat down and the seat of my jeans ripped open. I haven&#039;t gained weight, so I guess it&#039;s just from wearing them out. I&#039;ll be replacing them in the next few days.

Longest owned item I use regularly: I have a shirt I&#039;ve had since early High School (so about 12 years) which I wear once or twice a week in the winter as an outer layer. I&#039;ve fixed holes in the armpits, but otherwise it seems to be made of some kind of indestructible synthetic material.

My house was built in the 1890s, but I don&#039;t actually use it daily anymore since it&#039;s rented out.</description>

		<description>I moved around several times in the 1980s before I bought my current apartment in 1989.  I still have some items I either brought with me to my current place or bought shortly after I moved in here.

My cousin moved from New York to Texas just after I moved here so I was able to buy some furniture from him dirt-cheap.  That included a dresser and a large cushioned chair I still have.  I still have a spinet piano which came with the apartment.

Items I brought with me when I moved here I still have include a few small tables, a microwave oven, an old vacuum cleaner, a desk lamp, a 2-drawer file cabinet, an old alarm clock radio (Sony Dream Machine, remember those?) and some kitchenware items (pots, pans, utensils).

Items I bought shortly after I moved here and still have include my dinette set and 4 Breuer chairs.  The cushions on those chairs are a bit beat up but are still quite comfortable.  I also bought a microwave oven table and a TV/VCR table.  I bought a 2-light floor lamp but only one of the lamps still work.  I bought one of those 2-wheeled fold-up carts to haul groceries from my car and laundry to the laundry room.

The big-ticket items such as the bed, A/C, PC, fridge, and car have all worn out in the last 3-12 years.</description>

I bought one of those 2-wheeled fold-up carts to haul groceries from my car and laundry to the laundry room.</p>
<p>The big-ticket items such as the bed, A/C, PC, fridge, and car have all worn out in the last 3-12 years.</p>

		<description>OH! and I finally truly wore out a pair of boots. Took me 10 years a 3 soles, but the leather/canvas combo of the uppers was starting to fall apart, not to mention a hole on the top of the left one where the shifter on my bike used to rub.</description>

		<description>Well, I recently had to replace my cell phone it was about 6 years old and all the numbers were worn off the buttons. It was randomly dropping calls (probably because I dropped it too many times). After much debate I finally gave in and got the $9.99 blackberry for agreeing to another 2 years on my plan. I HATE it! it really does more than I need and frustrates me that the battery wont last 24 hours.
Still have my old Jeep its an 86 (parents bought it in 88) with 260K+, good on gas, cheap to insure and obviously paid off.
Sleeping under a quilt that my grandmother made, she told me she used an old quilt my great grandmother made as the batting. As much as I want to see what it looked like I&#039;m not going to take it apart. When it starts to get thread-bare I&#039;ll probably go ahead and requilt it again.</description>
