[Misc] What is the oldest thing you have used "As new"?

[Weststander]

I bought my son, then at infant school, a lovely Albion top in one of the last Withdean seasons. I knew it would get ruined or eventually sent to fabric recycling too early by an over zealous, football disliking Mrs.W (without telling us).

So I bought a second one at the same time, hidden away, one day for nostalgia.

Still not spotted, safely hidden .

Bought and installed a new in box 1998 made component (3Com network card) for an old system that needs to be kept alive for occasional reference recently.

You're displaying a lack of sexual imagination.

Christ - I come on here to get away from comments at home.

120 year old rear bicycle hub, wrapped in a wax paper and had never been laced to a tyre rim until I used it.

I have a 1999/2000 Brighton home shirt still in its original bag, never opened.

I have a 2000/2001 centenary shirt in a bag unopened.

I bought a 1940s fountain pen that was described as 'never been inked'. But I'm not really sure how they could know that!

Still - it's a nice pen.

Used to pick up all sorts on house clearances, but remember, back when I was cool (and when you could smoke in pubs) going through a carton of new/old cigarettes from the 50s, or maybe earlier. Suited my vintage-clothes style nicely, but I do recall that were pretty dry!

On balance, I think that was wise. Fridge rather than freezer?

Yup.
