Items That Have Really Stood The Test Of Time
Well, they certainly don’t make ’em like they used to anymore, and by “’em” I mean pretty much anything. It just seems like craftsmanship isn’t practiced the same way anymore. Cameras that were made in the ’30s still work just as well as they used to, but cameras that were made today with more advanced technology can’t manage to last more than a couple of years.
Do you think it’s all a made up? Or are we just getting worse at making things? These things might be super old, but they’re holding up just fine.

Remember This Toy?

This one looks like it still works perfectly.
The iPod Classic
This person has been using their original iPod Classic since 2006. It served them well, but they’ve decided that Spotify is more convenient.
It still works, it’s just time to move on.

I don’t know how this looked before it was refurbished, but with a fresh coat of paint on it it looks brand new.
An Old Thermos
This person used his Stanley thermos every day from 1970 to 2018. In 2018, he decided it was time to buy a new one.
