Can't beat that. My dishwasher and oven came with the house and we brought our old washing machine/tumble drier and microwave, and bought a new fridge freezer. Our microwave must be getting on a bit now, but not as old as your gas oven! nell |

I purchased my calculator in 1970 and I am still using it daily. Each number has to be a seperate action and the button actually clicks, no repetitions when the button is held. I think it cost me three pounds, a lot of money then. Brian (i) |

We have a wind up HMV ( the one with the picture of the dog on) gramaphone. It's up in the attic but hubby gets it down every now and then and plays all the old 78 - not LP's the original- records. It's loud and tinny and has thick needles you have to put in. I say get rid of it it's junk. Pat |

Not exactly an appliance but I have a cobblers last which was my Great Great Grandfather's, also a barbers kit which was his son's who died in the 1914-18 war. The oldest 'modern' appliance I have is a 1950's Singer sewing machine. Dianne xx |

I have my grandmother's Singer sewing machine along with the original receipt from 1935! And it still works! We also have my husband's grandfather's 'squeeze box' which went through WW1 with him. It was sent home to his widow after he was killed in action. It's a bit rusty and wheezy, but it still works. Sue xx |
