Oldest Thing


 Here is a fun question for you today, can't wait to read all the answers!

I have many old things, corning ware comes to mind.

Sharing this interesting article on the impact of the automobile in the 1920's on Toronto.  We take so much for granted.  In that time, the horse was the mode of transportation.  This changed quickly when cars were introduced.  We needed better roads, gas stations had to be built, and so forth.  Life as they knew it changed dramatically bringing other problems of course.

I think I am the oldest thing in my kitchen! But I also have an old coffee grinder from the 1930s, even older than me! Hugs, Valerie

The skillet has been with us since the beginning and it still works great. Cheese graders just don't work as great as they used too. I'm afraid.

Too many old things to count! All of my Corningware came from my wedding 40 years ago. I also have a cast iron skillet similar to those that show up in antique shops.

I still use my mom's vintage measuring spoons and my primary Pyrex bowls. I have older kitchen pieces but they are more for display than to use.

I have some spoons that I collected from a magazine ad when I was a teenager. You would send a quarter in the mail to get a different pattern each time they published the coupon. So they're more than 50 years old.

I have the best rice cooker that I bought 40 years ago. It still works and I could not do without it.

There's a potato chipper (?) that belonged to my grandmother's generation. I've never used it; I keep it for sentimental reasons but I think I should do some fries soon. There's also a 1946 cookbook that belonged to my paternal great grandma. I hadn't even thought of the 40+ yr old corningware as old!!

off the top of my head, it would have to be some casserole dishes that we received for a wedding gift; 30 years old this month!

I dont have a lot of old things and nothing for the kitchen, most of my oldish stuff is art related

sandy said...

wow, i have no idea. I'm thinking the copper pots and pans i've had for almost forty years that have never been used but hang around looking pretty.

I have a wooden spoon that belonged to my maternal grandmother. It may be a century old. Or somewhere thereabouts.

I have some very old plates that were probably mom's wedding gifts. I think.
