I still use my grand-parents' metal meat mincer with a handle. Nothing better to make sheperd's pie. And my grand-parents' jelly press.

That I bought myself- well, didn't buy it, got it free with Greenshield stamps- my Kenwood blender/mixer. 1971.

A bread knife that was my Dads I was still living at home so it’s probably 70 yrs old.

I have a griddle that I use to make welsh cakes. I know it was my grandmothers and she told me it was her mother in laws, so at least 100 years old.

Excluding antiques, the oldest is my OH.
Him aside, for everyday use the bread knife given as a wedding present in 1980.
The oldest antique is a coffer dated 1640 plus other antiques mostly Victorian

Tablespoon that my nan had as a wedding present in 1926.

My parents' bread-bin and bread board. The former is the old-fashioned white enamel type, with a separate lid and "bread" written on, in blue letters. I think that it may even have been my Gran's.

My grandmother's rolling pin. She married in 1906 and died in 1961. My mum then used it, I inherited it from her and have used it since 1996.

The oldest thing I still use is a butter knife bought in 1967.

I was just using my chopping board, and realised that, as my parents got it as a wedding present, it’s at least seventy two years old. What other old things are you using regularly?
