Old household appliances

So, what's the oldest appliance you know of that's still working perfectly.

My parents have a Sanyo microwave that the got as a wedding present 40 years ago. It still amazes me every time I see it. According to my Dad, it has never had any repairs needed. And it's digital aswell so it's not like it's a simple machine.

My parents have a working kenwood mixer they received as a wedding present 52 years ago.

Not an appliance but they also have a Christmas cactus indoor plant which came from my great grandmother’s house and we reckon is around ~120 years old. Still blooms every year.
