Within reach on my desk, Unisonic LC-384 Dual Power Solar and Battery Backup Pocket Calculator - I've not owned it the whole time, so I looked around and see it was produced on or around 1982. It works just fine.
It has a minimal listing in the Calcuseum (http://www.calcuseum.com/SCRAPBOOK/BONUS/32532/1.htm)
A 1930's Remington mechanical typewriter. My dad used it regularly until he passed away, it still works perfectly and I've got a whole box of ribbons for it.
I got an Apple IIc. Drive, monitor, keyboard all work.
I have a Sony M2 Micro card with inside it's USB adapter.
I've used it to install countless Linux distros since 2007 ๐
Technically speaking, it's the 2TB platter drive full of games that I've pulled from computer to computer over the last 15 years or so. Everything else has failed or become obsolete, but it's still kicking, miraculously.

I have an early 70s waffle/sandwhich maker eletric grill. Was a wedding gift to my parents and i grew up eating food off of it. Works flawlessly. But its just coils hooked to 120v with a regulator. Not much to break

Twenty- seven year old wireless keyboard. I love it. Feels great and never fails me. Don't know what I'll do when it finally dies.
I have some railroad stock certificates from the late 19th century that I need to frame. They're a few bucks on ebay and really freaking cool
In terms of electronics, I have some model trains from the 60s and 70s that are pretty worthless but keep going despite the abuse and lack of maintenance thanks to electric motors being so simple and easy to maintain. Other than that it's probably a shoe in between my wife's N64, PS2 and CRT TV, an old police scanner I got off ebay, or the early plasma TV that I got from my parents who got it from my aunt who got it with their house.
It's either my alarm clock or 5.1 speakers, both of which would be somewhere over 20 years old.
