I have never found one as good since. We have quite a few things that were wedding presents 29 years ago, but I think that my pie slice, which mum gifted to me when I went to college (because every self respecting student needs a pie slice, right?!) is the closest to your peeler...it was already quite well used when mum gave it to me, & I still use it today, despite the fact that the blade is a bit wobbly!Fat Dormousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061838276997211115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-23288708243220386382014-01-27T19:23:34.243+00:002014-01-27T19:23:34.243+00:00I have a veg peeler my Gram gave me when i was set...I have a veg peeler my Gram gave me when i was setting up my own place. It had been her sister's. Gram preferred a paring knife to peel potatoes. I have two sweaters that are vintage, but i got them knew. One, a purple and white striped turtleneck in 1968 that i can squeeze into and another, solid marroon, from 1974. That one still fits okay although it is starting to wear a bit thin. megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-82791116888726158472014-01-27T08:50:42.595+00:002014-01-27T08:50:42.595+00:00Chopping board, it's a sample of a solid beech...Chopping board, it's a sample of a solid beech worktop, about 12" x 7" x 1.5", obtained free 30-some years ago and been in constant use every day, it's developing a unique shape, a depression where most of the chopping is centred.<br />And a butchers steel, must be 40 years, still keeping my chopping knife sharp.cumbrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047500383078884463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-57237130551482500642014-01-26T22:55:26.382+00:002014-01-26T22:55:26.382+00:00I have a pizza cutter/wheel that we've used fo...I have a pizza cutter/wheel that we've used for 35 years.

I still wear it and it has been all around the world with me, including the Sahara Desert. I had to make a new bobble for it last year because one of my cats took a fancy to the old one and chewed the wool out of it. When I moved house last year I destroyed an anorak which was the first item of clothing I was allowed to go out and buy on my own which was in 1965 and it cost £4.19.11d. I can't think of anything else I have had that long that is still in use.
