My husband bought me a kitchen aid mixer for Christmas back in the eighties when we had a full calendar of entertaining. Not a tilt head but the one that raises the bowl like the picture you showed. I used it all the time. My kids moved out in 2010 and my husband passed away. It went into storage when I moved in with my mother to take care of her. Six years later she passed and I finally got all of my things out of storage. Almost 40 years later my mixer still makes perfect bread cakes and cookies.
The best present I’ve ever gotten. And every time I use it I think of my husband.
That stereo system is boss. It reminds me of the stereos we had in the Army. Long live Sansui, Pioneer and Marantz.
0:02 I have stove-envy! 😍
1:20 oh no-stove envy again! 🥰
So many stoves. I want them all.
Love the stoves! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
Back before built in obsolescence became a reality.
Sad, isn't it. Pride was taken in producing quality items. Items can't even be repaired because of poor workmanship.
Oooh! Don't! I've been having such a nice day so far!😂
Very true
Technology marches on. Those old gas stoves make me nervous. D'you know why? They usually have a pilot light lit all the time. If you buy a gas stove today, it has a gas pressure shut off valve. That is, if your gas is shut off for any reason, the low pressure causes the valve to close, so that when the gas comes back on, the stove isn't pumping gas into your house, just waiting to suffocate you in your sleep or looking for an ignition source.
@@benjalucian1515 The longevity is a result of simplicity (less things or parts to fail or break), but the simplicity may come with drawbacks of their own.
The piano saved from the city dump made me cry.
I recognise that Singer at 02:50 extremely well, in fact it's so identical it might even be the same one my grandmother and myself owned across a 100-odd year period! She bought it (To my understanding) new, and it was a 1920s model which came with a „Coffin top“ cover. She passed on in 2011 and I inherited it from her for the following nine years, but having increasingly less need for sewing _and_ increasingly less space in the house, I donated it to the British Heart Foundation. ❤
Amazing to think that a sewing machine that had been in the family for a century and then passed-on to a good cause eventually turns up in a video slideshow you're watching a couple of years later! ☺
A little shout out to my mom's, now mine, Pyrex bowls from her 1940s bridal shower, still in daily use . Also, mom's, now also mine Tupperware from the late 60s, very early 70s still in daily use.
A friend of mine was saying how his mother bought him a Stanley lunch box and thermos set like the one @4:24 when he first started working in 1976. He used until he retired in 2020. His son now uses it at his job.
In 1975, I bought a pair of Baby Osh Kosh's from the mom and pop hardware store. These Osh Koshes not only served my son well, but all 3 siblings as well. They were still fantastic looking. I became a foster parent in 1981, and have put this over through shoulder jeans on countless babies that came through my door. As the years flew by, my children grew and married and had families of their own. The Osh Koshes started being worn by the grand babies. I have 24 Grandchildren.. ( I had ten children..ibadopted 6) i think at least 18 have worn them through the years. Now, I have 3 great grand babies. All 3 have worn them as well. I have now got 2 problems- One"problem" i have had with the little jeans is the left knee is starting to become thread bare. The 2nd problem is has joined the long list of "Mom, when you pass away, can I have.."
I love oregano!!! What a gift. 😁
Stanley thermos. I have one I remember my parents using for hot coffee in the car when we moved from Illinois to New Mexico in 1965. Now 2024 and it has a few dings in it but still going strong. It’s fallen down banks, hiking trails, off the top of the car. Bought other thermoses but they are gone and Stanley’s still here.
My mom hated them. The insulation in some of those thermos' were made of glass, so if you dropped the thermos, the interior insulating layer would shatter and it was now useless.
Have my Mom’s Lifetime cookware set they purchased when her and Dad first went housekeeping also, the cedar chest that was their wedding present from my great-grandma, who also named me.
My mom in-law gave me her 1955 Singer 304A sewing machine. It still sews better than most machines today.
I have my nana’s sewing machine that folds into a desk and my mum’s early portable singer sewing machine both sill work.
@@laurabailey1054 most are solid nickel parts: as long as they're well oiled with proper machine oil they should last for decades. my great grandfather sold Singer in farm comm. in Minn. Some of those machines are very much around, and were also used, and used often.
the newer machines have gears that aren't as sturdy: I found out the hard way when I had to do a repair on my grandaunt's machine. That 1955 machine could easily be working in 2055 and beyond.
Just because it's old,doesn't mean it useless!
Oh amen. I would love to have any of these items. They were made to last and that’s worth it.
It's probably better.
I love all of your items! I especially love the Le Creuset!
Just some weeks ago i bought a 1950s Moulinex mixer that is virtually brand new. Works great! Same with the 1972 Siemens egg cooker that i found in the same thrift shop.
The Fisher price Toy garage is more than 25 years old,I'm 52 and remember it as a child... Great memories
Id give my eye teeth for that pink range! Lol
Brilliant - loved these! I LOATHE the throw-away (and cheap junk) culture.
The potential quality of life before greed created planned obsolescence.
5:55 I love these desks, they even painted it government green! I always notice these desks in schools or the DMV and noticed they were painted that exact green. ❤
I still have the NAD 317 integrated amp I purchased new back in 1997; it's been my main stereo the entire time, I use it constantly (in fact, it's almost never even turned off or placed into standby), probably 6-8 hours/day on average. Some years later I paired it with a 214 power amp I had found cheap in pristine condition, and they're both still sitting there in my living room in a vertical bi-amp config, driving a pair of Ushers, cranking out music or TV audio day-in, day-out. Never had a single issue, they sound great, honestly, huge and warm and deep, way better than the cheap Class D stuff that reigns today, and with a cheap WiiM streaming pre-amp (or even a Chromecast Audio), they never become outdated. Other than a FR-S I drove for four years and somehow managed to sell for 40% more than I paid for it, it's been the best consumer purchase I ever made.
And CAST IRON COOKWARE. Im 91 . Grew up on a farm Depression/WW2. As did my Mrs of 67 yrs. We both inherited " asst cast iron iron COOKWARE. We will pass it on yo the kids,grandkids. But they are asking for it now!!😅😅😅
2:16 I identify with that! Dad's truck, still my daily driver.☺️
That magic chef stove is everything but the kitchen sink.
Eatons' catalogue coffee cup, 1948: in the cupboard in LA since 1963. Sunbeam toaster wedding present, 1950, on the counter. Ceramic baby bull cookie jar, 1960. Cookies? Same.
Love it all but the old stoves super great. I wish I had one now.
So heartwarming to all this beautiful well made stuff still going strong. So heartbreaking that most stuff made now is garbage & only lasts a few years.
I am sitting looking at this video, on one of those old steel desks. These were made for the government, sometimes in Federal Prison workshops. I got mine free from my local National Guard Armory. They were remodeling and just throwing them away. This is the third one I have had; they were built like a tank and will last forever.
All of these are beautiful! Unfortunately, nothing is built to last anymore.
A relative has a pair of riding boots she bought at the mall when she was 19 yo, back when they still made boots of real nubuck top grain leather. She's replaced the heels and soles 3 times over the years but the boots are still in great condition. She turned 62 yo this year.
Stuff was made to last
It’s a shame things today aren’t built to last
And, usually looked beautiful as they lasted.
A time when things you used everyday were built to last a lifetime. Now it breaks and you throw it away. Sad, greed has taken over.
It's not greed but consumerism. How would industry make profit if they make things that last a liferime.
@@miomirabrankovic7133 How did they make a profit before? They did make a profit, otherwise they wouldn't have been in business. They just didn't make a HUGE profit. Nowadays, businesses want a HUGE profit, constantly growing to pay investors. That's where the greed part comes in.
Kitchen Aid Mixer. My grandmother bought it in the 50's. She gave it to my mom, who gave it to me, then I gave it to my daughter ho used it durigg culinary school. 2024 it is still working.
Autrefois les gens savaient travailler
Et les autres respecter leur travail
That waterman 😮wow!
When things were built better
4:28 I don't know what happened to the cooler, but my dad still takes the green Stanley thermos to work full of soup during the winter months. Can't remember a time I haven't seen it in our house. XD
Rotring pencils are amazing!
If the people who made these things only knew how many years and generations later it would still be adored
When quality was quality
I believe if we make things that last, we won’t have to buy as many disposable items and use less resources.
Demand will go down, sales will drop and so people will get laid off.
8:50 There is something eerie about a pair of jeans in a gold mine. Most people don't leave spare pants in their workplace. So now the question is why were these jeans left. Were they even abandoned?
Maybe a body was in them.
So many of these things bring back memories for myself because I still use a lot of things that are very very old I mean everything to me, unfortunately when I'm dead and gone most of the stuff will just probably go to the dumpster the new generation couldn't care less, but I do have one question the world's oldest Levi's found in a gold mine just what the hell is a Gold Miner doing in a mineshaft with no pants? There's got to be a story and I have questions LOL😅😅😅
Yes, I was wondering about that story as well. Maybe he got ants in his pants, lol.
Btw, speaking about caves instead of mines, do you know the difference between stalagmites and stalactites? It's like ants in your pants. The mites go up, and the tights go down. 😂 I read that once in the Readers Digest, in the 80s I think, and never forgot it. Maybe that's what happened to him.
Awesome!!...... I'd like to Ad, I wonder how many "items" here in the video were made in china??!! ....... Yeah, thats what I thought!!
A month ago my 14 year old dryer began to bleed out. I’ll miss that thing.
I’ve been using that lunchbox since the mid 90’s . The younger guys all tease me about it . Mines a bit more beat up than that one but still does its job .
I have a 1965 Frigidaire refrigerator
Alternate title - They don't make them like they used to.
Channel owner: One thing you forgot to include is a picture of a McDonald's hamburger. Those things, whatever is in them, can last for decades in storage. 😂
And Twinkies, even longer!
Also, many types of "ice cream" don't even melt when left dished-out in a bowl & on the counter - for over a WEEK! (Think that was a MrEastcoastMan vid of an experiment he did with his son. Scary.)
@kgrant3184 Yup.
Our disposable society.
Where are the times when they built things to last. People knew they could and would last a lifetime so were proud of their belongings and kept them (mostly) in great condition. Sometimes I hate these modern (mostly plastic) things: use it once or twice and you can toss it. Not to mention the cheap clothes that will definitely end up in some desert landfill.
Love these. However you might want to ditch the hair dryer as they were known to have asbestos insulation
What I was thinking.
Just can't buy quality these days.
42 years old. @04:29 I have the same flask but from 1982 and I still still use it. Same cup & stopper. It is older and then some more than most people who will read this. #Boomer
4:35 is an AI generated picture. His hand is out of perspective and wrong, and the stuff on the top of the dresser doesn't match what is in the photo.
No...if you look closely the hand is angled because he is holding/operating the camera that is placed on top on a vase or something in order to get a proper picture without shaking. Also the flowers do reflect in the mirror, you can see the top of them.
Weak + horrible intrusive music!
