Reply to comment by TheSessionMan in My Grandmother’s oven, circa 1966. Many holiday meals were cooked with love here, right up until the day she passed. Aside from one shattered glass door that was replaced, everything still works! by _Mr_Roboto_
Yes, my parents’ house has two ovens stacked vertically and recessed into the wall, and a separate range. It’s a larger mid-century house. There’s also a brick oven in the backyard. The previous owners were a Greek family that did a lot of cooking and would roast goats in the backyard.

Yeah those are legend, folding cooktop, right? Plus bonus vintage corningware! They have a fan club and people refurbish them.

The new ones break within 5 years now. This was meant to last, just like grandma's memory and love.

I have this exact same model, mine's been going about 11 years so looks a lot shinier but also seems to be BIFL

Murphy’s oil soap undiluted and applied directly to the surface of the wood (but that’s for after renovation).

Reply to BIFL Amazon recommendations! by ChikkuAndT
Just type in BIFL (name of item) Reddit. Look at what is the most recommended. Then type that in Amazon. If they have it, great. If not, look elsewhere.

Reply to Indian style cotton mattress. by [deleted]
Never heard of a mattress like this, but it sounds very absorbent and hard to clean.

Mm. brev. I have an old one too. It was old in the 80s. I usually treat it with respect as it is tries to kill me with its cheese ray.

Reply to comment by stefffiii in My first potato peeler (Sparschäler) I got this Sparschäler 10 years ago already used by my grand mother. It is still a mass product and you can buy it for round about 5 USD. But this one is made in West Germany so at least 33 years old and almost daily in use. by Secundus_Scipio
This is the way!

Yeah okay I’m not a social historian or anything…but this feels like a design from a very specific era of American consumerism.
