Read it wrong
My 75 year old "entitled" father in law who calls me every other day, because he was bored and his son / daughter (my wife) won't call him.
Does that count?

The only thing I can think of right now is this set of Channel locks I received in the 1st year of my apprenticeship program (1981). Local 198 in Baton Rouge, La. gave each student a set.
I have three old Gillette Razors. Two are from 1932 and one is from the 1910s. I used the 1932 models for a few shaves.
Not useable?
I guess my antique photo collectibles.

1917 Smith & Wesson .32 revolver. Dad‘s gun that he kept after horse trading. Micrometers and calipers from mid-40s. Father-in-law bought them right out of the army after getting a job as a machinist. Mantle clock from the early 1900s. Grandmother’s clock. Edit: I use the mics for shims when assembling rear ends.
Nice! I still have side cutters I bought in 1976 while working as a tech at Chevy dealer. Trimmed thousands of wheel bearing cotter pins doing brakes.
Not usable throws a bit of a kink in it for me.. I have several 100+ year old guns that still work fine. I have a WWI first aid kit that is still in the sealed sardine can that I wouldn't consider 'usable'.. and some very old ammo haha

Nice! Much better than being killed by a toilet seat from outer space!
My CPS2000 water gun, circa 1996, never equaled. Never surpassed.

CPS 2000
The CPS 2000 is a 1996 CPS series Super Soaker that holds 3.1L of water. It is no longer available for purchase since its home line has been discontinued. It was the first Super Soaker in the CPS series, as well as the first elastic pressure Super Soaker ever made. It is one of the most valuable...

A model 1858 Starr Revolver. Not useable. Still cool.
Do books count?
I have many old things but the oldest thing I have that I bought new is a Crosman 760 pump BB gun. I bought it in 1966 brand new with my birthday money. It still works but it is a bit to small for me now.
