If it's refitted with durable modern parts, it could use less energy than a new fridge. Old fridges had great insulation.

I don't know much about refrigerators, but I can't fathom the amount of chlorofluorocarbons that is leeching into the atmosphere. I mean, it's cool that it still works, but with what we know now about the dangers old a/c units, freezers, and refrigerators pose to the ozone, it probably ought to go.

My grandparents had this fridge and when I was about 8 years old, I forgot that you pull the handle straight down (like a slot machine) and tried to open the door by pulling the handle on an angle (like a door handle)... broke the handle right off. We had to open that fridge using the little stump that was left after I snapped most of the handle off for the next 25 years!!

back in 2016 we had to replace the 2 hot water heaters in the 2 family i own with my siblings. they were installed in 1943 and came with lifetime warranties (the company isn't even around anymore) i haven't the heart to throw them out because they still look brand new and the water was always scalding hot even when it came up to the attic where we had a bar. they were gas heaters and they failed not because anything was wrong with the way they were heated but because the tanks gave out on the bottom after 73 years, both went out within a week of each other. we'll be lucky to get 7 years out of the new ones before they go tits up. the tanks are copper and my brother and i are thinking about repairing them

So you can gift this set to your children, as a suggestion only, research how to maintain the wooden handles.

There's some sad trolling going here by voting down lots of valid comments. I'm sure I'll get it, too. In recent times, the standard business model is planned obsolescence, meaning thing are made to break after a couple of years or so. This is simply so that businesses can keep selling their products because people have no choice but to replace things. We deliberately get sold lower quality materials in our goods when, as this post shows, we could have things that will last for ages.

True, but I think it goes both ways. So many things are made today that are vastly superior to past products - from televisions to medical devices. The fact that I have an SSD that's 5cm wide and weighs about as much as a feather - and can store 2 terabytes of data... 20 years ago this would've been science fiction.

I still have my 1st generation iPad. It still works great although there are many apps that are not compatible because Apple blocks it's older products from getting upgrades.

Very interesting. I can understand why some remarks are hidden, but not all of them. Is that a decision that is undertaken by just anyone at your company?

This post makes me sad. As an immigrant you don't get the chance to save much of your childhood memories. All I have are some photos and a few antique books.

I really love this post. I wish they still made things that way. Now everything is made to break so consumers have to replace them. There are some amazing items in this post , very very cool

I have a 20 year old t shirt I got in high school. I still wear it regularly and it still fits, so I guess we're both still holding up.

I'm surprised there are no Zippos on this list. They last forever. The one in my pocket - Army Ranger with insignia plate missing - came out in 1969, same year I did.

So does my mother, it was a wedding present in 1984. Every 15 years it needs a new interior light bulb, that's it.

So many of these products are 1990s or older, when things were still made in USA and much sturdier

Imagine they still produced quality like that in a modern world! We wouldn't have half the environmental problems we have now. Actually making products that lasts and can be fixed.

It's not that high quality mendable stuff isn't being made, it's just that most people don't want or can't pay what that actually costs.
