I have several firearms well over 100 years old in perfectly operational condition.
Quite a few kitchen appliances from the 70s that will never die.
And a working Apple IIgs.
As far as use on a daily or near daily basis, I have a 1974 Fender guitar amp, and a few other speakers and musical instruments that are vintage that are also going to outlive me.
What’s amazing to me is that for guitars / basses, even amps, the value often goes up for the truly old stuff. Even (sometimes especially) if there’s visible wear and tear. The bass I own was one I bought new, so it’s only about 15 years old. But, I was just curious the other day so I was searching for basses on Ebay, and they’re selling basses that are $50k and are 40+ years old.
