A large tooth comb I’ve had since middle school. I used it everyday until a couple of years ago when I switched to a brush better designed for my hair type, but I still use it on occasion. Not sure how I haven’t lost that thing throughout the years.
ETA: I’ve had the thing for over 2 decades!
Probably my Granddads 1950s East German office chair. Got it when he passed since I always used to sit in it when drawing at his desk.
Gas spring is a bit leaky and the leather is a bit faded but it's more solid and comfy than anything new under €500 I tried.
If it's truly daily use only, then surprising myself, I think it might actually be my phone.
I wear a cord jacket from first grade as a bolero (I'm in my mid 30s). I got older stuff but this usually weirds people out.
My flat was built in the 70s. So probably that. My violin is much older but I don't play much these days (certainly not daily).
My house is from 1884 so that’s used pretty often.
I’ve moved continents so I haven’t brought too many older items with me generally speaking
A 1797 George III Cartwheel penny, and some other old English coins. I don't use them as such, but I look at them daily. It's a great distraction from trivial issues to look at them on my desk and wonder how many people have owned them and what the owners bought with them.
My pocket mirror had a copyright date of 1914, but it's reasonable to assume it's a bit newer than that. It's probably around 100 years old.
I have a cupboard from 1789. I use it to store stuff, so yeah, I use it every day.
"Heet" liniment. I have an old bottle found when my father died. It still burns but it helps with the arthritis and other pain.
kitchen radio. It is one of the first portable tube radios, built 1958 or 1968 (dont remember). Internals died a few times, retro-fitted by a UKW radio receiver, then an MP3 player, now its a Raspi radio. It runs most of the time if I am at home
I still have a clock radio from the 1970s around. No repairs needed, it's amazing the difference no moving parts makes.
I have balls of yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks from the 60s and 70s. Also, most of my home appliances, like fridge, tv, washing machine, and microwave/oven, are about 20 years old and working perfectly.
Bedside table.
Maybe 50 years old.
Alarm clock I bought at the end of 2006 or early 2007. About 18 years ago
Probably my original day 1 psp.
The house that I'm in was built in the 1950's. It's small but cozy!
My house is from the 1950s and my truck from 2007. I also have a shemagh scarf I bought when I was about 13 - so around 20 years ago. I’ve got a Leatherman that’s about the same age, too. Then there are two military surplus jackets from Austria - one from 1996 and the other from the 1980s - though I haven’t owned them that long.
I have a Marvin the Martian mug I got in 1995 for my 10th birthday. I don’t use it daily, but every few days for sure.
