This wonderful family heirloom has such rich history.

That is a really lovely gift. She thinks about you every time she cooks, and she curses you, when she cuts herself.

I have my mother's Singer sewing machine that was made in the 60's. I've used it in my teens, but unfortunately, I don't remember how to work it anymore.

Holy wow, those are beautiful! And also, HBD!

It still fits?

My uncle (dad's brother) has my grandmother's pizzelle iron from the 30s. It makes single pizzelles, but at almost 100 years old, you'd never guess how old it really is. And he makes and mails them to all the family members every Christmas just like she did.

A real gem.

It's beautiful but I wouldn't trust it.

Looks like a morgue to me...

They certainly don't make them the way they used to. I currently have a Frigidaire range that I purchased new about 7 years ago. It has already been repaired twice. I hate planned obsolescence.

Oooooooooooooooo.....

What a beautiful piece of pottery. I'm not a coffee drinker, but my father would have loved it.

The colourful 90's!

My dad used his RAF kitbag from the 50s as a tool bag. Outlasted many other purpose made canvas tool bags.

As the fond owner of a 1992 Saab 900, this makes me smile

They still make them. I just checked Amazon

"Quit taking my picture!"

My brother had a similar camera in the early 70's. He's the photographer in the family. I can't even manage a simple instant Polaroid camera.

and they look cute too.

My sister and I have some of these. We each took some of our mom's collection after she passed. They are gorgeous and well made for sure!

1939 ?! They look as good as new 👌

Safety wasn't much of a feature back then, I gather.

My flooring looks really similar to that. I think that it was put in during the mid 80's.

So famous a design that "the toaster with the ears of wheat on" made it into a Victoria Wood song.

I know a Dutch bike when I see one 😂❤️

Looks like the Singer I learned to sew on in 7th grade Home Ec class. 1972-1973. Exactly the same green color too.

I still have my old Seiko automatic that was given to me when I was in high school. It still works, but I need to move my arm to keep it accurate.

My mother still has her mid 60s Kenwood, a few chips from all the moves, but works perfectly

Light, Power, ACTION!

beautiful

It’s no wonder the design hasn’t changed much - hard to improve on such a great piece of hardware

you should start to charge him rent hes a legal adult

the good old times, when apple made durable applications with a great design, for a respectable price

This exact one is currently in my mom’s fridge, been happily keeping her favorite condiment fresh since before I was alive!

Jimi would beg to differ hehe. (I hasten to add I've got a Strat too, and OP isn't wrong).

In case you're wondering (cause i was), the black handle pulls out an oblong drawer. Line it with tin foil and you're good to go! Btw, it's even in the Smithsonian!

which brand

Upvote for Carhartt 😍

Ooo I can hear that lovely sound you get when you cut fabric with really good scissors, I just got goosebumps. ( yes I know it’s weird)

Cast iron pans last forever, right? My father accidentally left a pan in the rain after a cook-out. It rusted, and I was ready to throw it out. He was not much of a handyman, but he cleaned it up, and made it look brand new again.

And you've managed not to break the inner pot? Now I'm impressed

Confidence!

I see you OP!

Marimekko makes such beautiful linens and towels. I have a more current set of bedsheets.

why didn't you just type 8008s?

Not a clue what this does.

That backpack was allll the rage in 1997. You were a nobody if your didn’t have that leather bottom hanging low, bouncing against your butt 😂 memories

I had a great Canon scientific calculator in college. It was great for calculus. Unfortunately, I lost it over the years.
