I want to reference an item I used or was used in my presence from brand new and is still in use. This comes to mind only since I discuss my love of audio on other forums.

Eric Burdon Declares War LP 1970. It's in the roughest shape of all my LP's but there is a certain sentimental value since when it was brand new it was played on the living room console. I was in grade 1. Tobacco Road amazing song.

I have a peice of fossilized timber that I found when diving of the coast of Wollongong in the early 80's.

I use it as decoration/memory thingie on a shelf, will lots of other useless stuff that serves as triggers.

Of course; and a sundial.

Most all of my hand tools are late 1970s Craftsman. I worked at Sears when I was 16 and bought most of my tools with my employee discount.

I have tons of old shit, it is the "still use it" part that's hard.

I have one of these cameras sitting on display in my bookcase. With flash attachment and flash bulb as well. No longer used, but used extensively by my mom in the 1950s and 1960s. Cool to see another one.
