VINTAGE THING THAT STILL WORK:
1920s-1930s Magic Chef Stove With 6 Burners, 2 Ovens, And A Bread Warmer"
Maybe you have an old item *that still works* to share.
One of my most prized possessions, an antique apple peeler. I just love it; works flawlessly

Those antique apple peelers work because they are made of cast metal. The ones my wife buys these days are all made out of cheap flimsy plastic and either break, or flex so much that they don’t work properly.
She likes to make homemade apple sauce.

That oven is a real collectors item. And I ALWAYS wanted an apple peeler, seemed so smart and cool looking.

A little *shoe* comes out at the end of the peel and *kicks* the apple into your hand or a bowl. Of course you need a nutmeg grater for the nutmeg in the apple pie.

Dad bought a Westinghouse 8 inch air fan in Moab Utah back in 1955. Paid over $50 for it.
It lasted till 2008. I still have it.
Today a plastic fan will cost around $10-$20 but will give out in a year or two.

I also have an old Peter Wright Anvil that still works well!
Those things are hard to destroy but I did have to reface it after I bought it way back in 1973. Don’t know how old the anvil is.

My prized antique. Got it about 30 years ago from a restaurant store. Refurbed it, and use it (for sugar/health reasons, only occasionally, but with tons of syrup, and malt too).

We had a cottage in Michigan that my dad and his brothers built. It has the stove.
It still worked when we sold in the 80's.
My mom's 1950 hair dryer complete with bonnet. It was still working in 2020.

I have an axe that dates back to the Civil War.
The head had to be replaced and the handle has been replaced 2 or 3 times, but it still works great!

The Singer Featherweight sewing machine, a great design that worked and worked. Singer produced millions of them from the 1930s through the 1960s. They’re still considered essential equipment by some quilters.

That knife sharpener was cool.
Wonder what a working unit would cost.

I have a vintage Rival Grind-O-Mat from the 60s that grinds meat and slices veggies, as well as a lot of my mom and grandmom's rolling pin and cookie cutters--some of them from the late 40s.

Don’t forget the time that the more extension cords one had in the house meant they were poor.
Recently, the more extension cords mean the more ‘gadgets’ you own so that - in a sense - makes you more affluent....

Drooling over the range. We just closed up my parents’ house. My dad has his great grandfather’s scales from the hardware store he owned. They work great. My dad uses them when he makes bread.
