I have a desk fan made in 1912 that I use regularly and the telephone in my kitchen is from 1954.

  Do you use the phone? We have a dial phone from the 60s-80s that's still hooked up in the living room and rings (I don't know how old it is, but it works perfectly). Very handy when the cordless phone gets left in the basement. I can't say that it gets used much, except during power outages. My folks still use the landline phone quite a lot, and so do I sometimes (poor cell reception in the house).

    I do, although these days its connection to the outside world is a SIP trunk via Asterisk. Works just fine as long as I don't need to interact with an IVR which requires asterisks or pound to do stuff (looking at you, Google Meet). Audio quality is better than a cell phone, and I can hear it ring from the back yard.
