A identical pic I found on the internet. Bought new in 1991. White Westinghouse stove. Not one problem from it so far.

I have a freezer that was my grandparents. Has to be from at least the early 80s. Take everything out when frost builds up, thaw and load her back up.

My grandfather's freezer is in my dad's workshop. 1975 model that still works.

Montgomery Ward chest type two compartment deep freeze from 1945. I had to replace a couple of fan motors on it when I was a kid but it hasn't given any functional trouble for at least 60 years.

1865 Seth Thomas Railroad Clock.
Runs like the day it was made. Surely Civil War era.

We bought all new appliances after we bought our house so nothing old at all in my home. My parents still have their first refrigerator they bought when they first got married in 1983. Is in their garage now but still runs like a charm

My dad has an Emerson oscillating fan from like the 1940s. It belonged to his parents. He found a guy who rebuilds electric motors as a hobby and it runs like new.

I have an olive drab Frigidaire beer fridge in the garage that was left by the previous owners of the house. They brought it with them when they moved to Texas from New Jersey in 1981. It's 42 years old, at a minimum, and still running like a champ.

1997 subzero.
I own a 1978 Hobart mixer but never use it.

No way will I jinx myself by naming it.

Yeah. Those things that last 30 years are worth holding on to. Whatever condition they are in.

I’ve had the same Emerson alarm clock my entire life. Apparently it was in the first house my parents bought after they got married.
It was in my room growing up, I took it to college, and it’s moved with me everywhere since.
Not nostalgic about it or anything, it just keeps working.

My fridge in outdoor room is from 1993 and still kicking.
I have an electric shop light with original bulb that I got from my great uncles house when he passed away 15 years ago. The light was from 1958 and still works with original bulb.

I bought my BR house in Jan. of '97. Within a month I replaced the fridge. I brought it with me when I moved to FL in 2001. I will put Thanksgiving leftovers in it Thursday.

The house I bought came with a 1950 electric ranger top and matching double oven. The brand is Frigidaire deluxe by GM Corp and everything works except for the clock on the oven.
