What is your oldest household appliance?

[freeradical]

I have a Montgomery Ward microwave oven that I bought in the mid 80's.

A Eureka vacuum cleaner from sometime in the late 80s or early 90s.

Does a non electrical 'appliance' count ? Like a 1920's mandolin (veggie slicer) from Austria ?

If not, then.. Me.

My dryer is harvest gold and the range hood is avocado green.

An Oriole stove from the 1920s. Still works.

We got married in 1978, from the wedding presents the kettle finally died last year, the toaster is still going, the fridge is still going but at a holiday cottage. There was a freezer that came with the house we bought back then which is still going elsewhere, my daughter still uses my mother-in-law's old Kenwood Chef from the late 1950s and my wife uses the Kenwood Chef of my own mother from the early 1960s.

That's the electrical items I can think of, plenty of non electrical household tools.

An avocado green Lady Kenmore vacuum cleaner from the 1970s.

We have one of these in our kitchen:


I bought it for next to nothing on craigslist and restored it about five years ago. 1950s technology! It's much nicer to cook on than the awful 1980s electric stove that was in there before.

I would say it's my Sear's Kenmore Powermate vacuum. I bought it new in 1978, so roughly, 34 years old. I've had to replace a few things but it's been pretty rock solid.
