Age Shall Not Weary Them

My best man bought me a Moulieux electric knife, a wooden spatula and many other practical items; these are 40 years old and in use daily or weekly ; what is your longest surviving gadget?

Not a gadget but two Pyrex serving dishes that were bought as a wedding present. They are white opaque ones and they used to have a flower pattern on the side. The flowers are long since faded. I am using them both tonight.
They are in the oven as I write.

I have lots of other things given as wedding presents but they just sit there, looking beautiful.

We still use my set of stainless steel saucepans given to us nearly 38 years ago as a wedding present.

Tilly + Cupid...I still use some pans I had as a wedding present in 1973, and also regularly use the pyrex bowls with flowers on, some are mine, again wedding presents, and some are even older, they were my Mum's. Sadly the lids are long gone.
