Maybe the iron skillets. I don't think a day passes that I don't use those. Or my house, it's from the 1940s. Some of the furniture is older than that too, though I don't think there is any one piece I actively use each day.
Truly oldest? Double entry accounting, I use nearly every day and that's from around 1300.
I bought a 1200w power supply in 2013 that is still going strong. Daily driver I've moved from case to case as I have upgraded over the years.
Two things come to mind.
My recently acquired Technics hifi system from the early 2000s from which I listen to the radio, my music tapes and my CDs.
And my old Telefunken HDTV from 2006. It's remote doesn't work anymore but that's okay.
Not exactly daily but the shovel I use to clean out my grill ashes was my grandfather's, hand forged and used for branding iron fires, gotta be 100 years old. Then a phonograph from 1960.
I have some old wooden chairs at the dining table that could be old. Certainly before 1940s.
One of my bike's is 30 years old, and I use it all the time.
But as far as oldest stuff I still use, probably things like certain furniture, tools, and kitchen stuff, which would have been inherited from grandparents who have long passed.
My mom bought me a little Leatherman squirt on my birthday in 2010 and I've been carrying it ever since. 15 years on it's still my most consistent EDC Carry.
I have my grandma's speed square I use it every day, it's from 1987
Probably the silverware that I grew up with.
P-38 can opener from World War II. This little thing is the best can opener I've ever owned.
I have balls of yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks from the 60s and 70s. Also, most of my home appliances, like fridge, tv, washing machine, and microwave/oven, are about 20 years old and working perfectly.
My house is from the 1950s and my truck from 2007. I also have a shemagh scarf I bought when I was about 13 - so around 20 years ago. I’ve got a Leatherman that’s about the same age, too. Then there are two military surplus jackets from Austria - one from 1996 and the other from the 1980s - though I haven’t owned them that long.
My '97 car?
Clothing? Furniture?
kitchen radio. It is one of the first portable tube radios, built 1958 or 1968 (dont remember). Internals died a few times, retro-fitted by a UKW radio receiver, then an MP3 player, now its a Raspi radio. It runs most of the time if I am at home
I still have a clock radio from the 1970s around. No repairs needed, it's amazing the difference no moving parts makes.
I have a cupboard from 1789. I use it to store stuff, so yeah, I use it every day.
My pocket mirror had a copyright date of 1914, but it's reasonable to assume it's a bit newer than that. It's probably around 100 years old.
A 1797 George III Cartwheel penny, and some other old English coins. I don't use them as such, but I look at them daily. It's a great distraction from trivial issues to look at them on my desk and wonder how many people have owned them and what the owners bought with them.
My dick. I've used that every day since I was born.
The dresser in my bedroom was my dad's and it's older than me. I think it's around 50 years old.
My 1880 foursquare.
If it's truly daily use only, then surprising myself, I think it might actually be my phone.
