    An ice cream scooper from the 1940’s with a mechanical scoop releaser and a bread knife from the 80’s, both random bits that were passed down the family. Nothing special, just very well made tools. Also a Hala desk lamp circa 1950.

    My aunt has a 40’s era sunbeam stand mixer that works perfectly… just needs a new electrical chord. Most things are made to be replaced now. Those not so much.

      My sister in law got my mil’s KitchenAid stand mixer that my wife carved her brother’s name into when she was a kid. Works like a champ.

      Oh yeah I have a monstrous Vorwerk juicer that, judging from the design, is from the 1950s or 60s. Works perfectly.
      I never had to fix anything for the over 20y I had it.

      I’d say that is special
