Oldest Working Kitchen Appliance in Your Home

Philips Mixer, circa somewhere in the 80's. It has that beige and brown aesthetic that was popular back then
 
As millenials, myself and my wife..

But three months ago we had to throw out our oldest appliance, sandwich press we bought new back in 2013..
 
An Indesit fridge that's not frost free.
Defrosting this frige is a whole day job. Line the entire kitchen with newspaper and towels, then wait. Madness
 
I'd say it would be between our Philips Hand Blender and our Kenwood Chef, however the Kenwood Chef would take it hands down as the longest working item without a day of a problem. Ours is from 1977.

Basically like the below, but ours is more white with the mincer and a few items too. We now also have the Kenwood Major with even more stuff.

This for me is still the Swiss Army Knife of appliances, From the doughhooks to mixers, choppers and graters, mincers etc. If you've never had one and love to cook, then youre missing big time, bit if you have, you know how valuable these ones are. Especially today.

Both hand-me-downs and older than me:

AEG KF601 drip coffee machine (made in Germany 1981/82), and I use it daily.
KIC fridge from around the same time connected to an STC1000 temperature controller for brewing purposes.
 
I think I beat all you guys. I have a cream separator from the early 1900's
