I bought a used Yamaha U3 (upright piano) in 2011, which was manufactured in the 80s. Still sounds lovely! No creaking or sticking keys, and she holds her pitch like a charm.
Granted, I don't practice enough and generally play more softly. Otherwise, studio pianos really start to show their age after a few decades.
We also have a quilt that my partner's grandma made for him as a newborn. It's beautiful, colorful, and looks like it could have been sewn yesterday.
Not sure which is older, the quilt or the piano...

I use my late grandmother’s Beautyware canisters daily. They’re from the 1950s.

Definitely NOT stone / natural at all...
OP - search on faux stone table tops and you'll find many very cheap options...

A black suit that my grandma bought in the 80s and I had tailored to fit me a few years ago. It’s a unicorn suit that fits through pregnancy, postpartum, and normal life fluctuations. One of my favorite possessions.

Reply to comment by Sweeneysmithy in Is this Saddleback backpack recommend? Alternatives? by Sweeneysmithy
I didn't know this was a thing as I've had like 20 backpacks in my life and all sans a backer. If this is a thing for you, then DIY it....Make a cardboard template of any backpack. Trace this onto sheet Polycarbonate from Home Depot. Install with industrial Velcro.

My 1992 Gibson les Paul, my 13 year old Mitchell leather money clip wallet, my 1980's thiel floor standing speakers, and my 14 year old Fuji bicycle stand out for me.

Looks too thin to actually be stone.

No electronic boards helps immensely in product longevity. I won’t buy washers and dryers that have them, completely unnecessary.

Restoration hardware had some gorgeous marble tables a while back if you want to spend similar amounts of money to a new car
