I have a lot of young grandparents' Kodak B&W photos taken in the late 40s-50s at their Moosehead Lake camp and around the area. I don't know about "use"....but enjoy photos from a different era.

House: Built 1850, but we haven't owned it that long.
I have a cast iron skillet that I got from my Dad about 20 years ago, he got it from his father when he went off to college, no telling how long he'd used it before.
I have a shotgun that I got when I was 10, so about 30 years ago.
We have a flat screen TV that we got in 2006 or so, still works great, amazingly.

Still rock out to my 1960 Dynaco stereo system on a daily basis! Nothing finer than a good set of vacuum tubes pumping out the tunes!

Schweet, WC. I do agree whole heartedly. I've got some vintage Mac tube equipment my parents purchased new back in '62 I believe. Nothing sounds as warm as vacuum tubes.

Isn't that the basis for the movie Foo Fighters did a couple years back? What was it?

2001? I still have a T-shirt I wear from boot camp in the USAF back in 1999.

I'm sure I'm using lots of stuff even older than that. i have an old German cabinet passed down from my family that dates somewhere into the 1800's.

My son has a RCA 20" TV from 1987, bought from JC Penny when I lived in California, in his room that still works great for movies and he connected one of our retired video game systems (PS 2 circa 2000) to it as well.

I walk on the earth every day. The creationists say it's 6,000 years old. Scientists say it's 4 1/2 billion years old.

What do I win?

You don't have a use for the Sun? - 'cause I think it's older either way. So - You'll get nothing and like it! 8)

What's the oldest thing you own and still use?
