My grandmother's handmade cookie cutters and a 1950's Sunkist electric lemon and lime juicer my mother was going to throw away.  "No," I said.  "I'll take it. It still works."  

Here's the juicer. Mine is in much better shape and cleaner than this, but here it is.

I have never seen a juicer like this!  Very interesting.  

For decades when there was no air conditioning and time was spent on the front porch to catch a breeze, they served a lot of pitchers of lemonade!  (Which despite the sugar was very healthy providing ascorbic acid and vit c to ward off scurvy!).

An older than dirt rusted potato peeler.  Thing was sharper than a razor.  I could peel a large potato just under a minute.  One day I couldn't find it.  S.O. decided to tell me he threw the peeler out because of the rust.  I told him the rust washes right off the potatos. 

In my mind I really had to bite my tongue as he does all the cooking when he's here.

He did replace it w/an OXO peeler knowing how much I love their products. 

But still......

Not sure if this counts but I have an Esmond cookie jar and the matching canister set. From my Aunt many years ago. She was given them by an older lady.

That is the best carrot peeler that ever was!

Your peeler was redesigned after decades!

@Mz iMac  I have one just like that! I got it right after we got married 46 years ago and it still works just fine.

My mother died tragically at 36. I still have her spatula.
