Misc What is the oldest item you have in daily/regular use?

I'm talking about useable objects, not things like antique furniture or even houses. I know these are 'used' but not in the same sense as say an old car for instance.

To start this thread off, the oldest daily used object is a teapot stand that my father made in his craft class in 1929.

Two leather couches my parents bought in '76. Also, a pair of leather gloves I bought in '82.

I have antiques, like a molded glass candy dish, that date way back, but they're on display in a glass case. Not exactly in daily use.

The Bible that my wife's grandmother gave her. Been in the family since about 1870's. Has the lineage of an old southern family and some pictures.

A set of X-Acto knives I got as a Bar-Mitzvah present in 1953; an aluminum measuring cup that belonged to Marcia's mother (probably made in the 30's; a salt-glazed salt crock we use in the kitchen for kosher salt (19th century).

I'd have to say its my grandmothers pan. I use it only too cook like patotoes, noodles and such like that. She had this when my mom was little. so the pan must be a good 50 or 60 years old.

"inside the Beltway, outside the loop"

Anywhere near Jamaica Bay????? Use to fishing off of Howard Beach and hang out ( drag race) over the bay bridge back in the sixties. Those were the days.
