Have you got anything old in your home
Still blowing strong! The hairdryer Made in Britain 80 years ago | Mail Online
After seeing this article I was wondering what other people have in their homes that they've had for years. The only thing I can come up with is a Mirror which hangs on my bedroom wall was a wedding present when I first got married in 1967 so its 43 years old

Re: Have you got anything old in your home
I have a chamber pot which was a wedding present to my mum and dad in the 30s.
I also have a solid silver thimble which belonged to my dad's mother -I could date it if I could be bothered to research the hallmark - all I know is that it is 'pre 1900'. I have three silver medals which my dad won in the 1920s/30s for cycle racing.

Re: Have you got anything old in your home
I have my grandma's old hoover from the 1950's which still works and gets used in an emergency.
I also have my favourite telephone which is one of the old black bakelite one's from the 1950's and of course my red telephone box on the drive |

Re: Have you got anything old in your home
the cooker must be at least 50 years old, do they still have the same attachments nowadays?
