A violin from the '40s. A bayonet from around 1913 - not sure it still works. I'm not about to try it.

Christien 03-27-2012 03:18 PM
Me. Though whether or not it still works depends on the previous night. :D

A Sekio chronograph watch I got when I was 15. 38 years later, I gave it to my son when he turned 15 last year.

Probably an SK ratchet that I got in the 9th grade. Although I have a spatula and shoe shine box that I made in 8th grade shop.

Well, it's not mechanical but my Holmenkollen cross country skis. Handmade from hickory with old fashioned pine tar on the bottom. They're in perfect condition after 30 years.
