My 1980s Wilkinson knife set. Bought by my parents when I was a kid, I inherited them when I moved out and they bought new ones.

MODERATORS
The majority of my vinyl collection is more than 20 years old which are predominantly the reggae, funk and soul sections as well as a bunch of misfit classics from 60s-90s. My primary record player is also from the 80s but the rest of the system is pretty modern.
I got a lot of Craigslist tools that are from the 80s and 90s.
I have a desk from circa 1995 that I rescued from a hoarder relative. (They wanted it gone, I obliged.)
I have an old oak dining set that looks to be about 30 years old. Another secondhand find.
I know I have a few books that meet those criteria. I got rid of the ones I wouldn't use, but I have a few older cookbooks I love.
I have a few older physical DVDs and video games. I still occasionally watch the DVDs, the video games I emulate but I'm not ready to let go of the physical copies.
I have a small box of sentimental items that are older. Stuff like jewelry or old letters.
Other than that, most of my possessions are newer. A lot of my older stuff got lost due to having to leave bad situations and leaving behind who knows how much stuff.
I’ve got a manual coffee grinder that’s turning a hundred in a couple years.
I’ve also got a WWI German infantry saber that’s almost 130 years old.
I have a bunch of hand tools well over 20 years old. Some cast iron cookware, stainless steel eating utensils, pyre dishes, corningware, and other eating stuff that doesn't have non-stick coatin last forever too. Would have dishes that old if we didn't switch out a couple years ago.
I have a full stereo setup with four large speakers and a subwoofer that I purchased in the 90s. They did sit idle for a decade but I have been using them in my shop for a few years now. Also have an stereo amplifier from the early 80s I inherited, but it isn't currently hooked up.
Also have one CD and one DVD player on hand in case they are needed. Blue rays are 20 years old yet are they?
I hav clothes, mostly band shirts and jeans I don't fit into, that are over 20 years old as I don't wear them often.
My primary winter coat is from the 90s. Only need to wear it a couple.mknths of the year anymore, but Columbia made some tough stuff at that time.
