I don't mean a museum piece sitting on a shelf. I mean something you actually turn on and rely on every week.
Is it a first generation Kindle? A 2011 thinkpad? A printer from the Windows XP era? A mechanical keyboard from yesteryear? An old iPod? A really old toaster that works great?

@pheonix A 2004 computer, had its CPU recently repaired using "an industry oven" as it's not something easily replaceable.

Kenmore Microwave, about 1980, so roughly 46 years old. This has been in daily use the whole time!(Last year I could have added a Craftsman router, but it threw a commutator segment after 43 years. Sears stuff was GOOD, back then.)
