We still use 80 year old sewing equipment from my grandfather, who was a taylor. My favorite is a giant pair of fabric scissors.
We display an alphabet embroidery done by my great grandmother when she was a school girl. It is dated 1881.
Wow 80 years old! Something like this?
Or the handles are made of brass?
reply
Exactly like that, except yours look a little more worn.

I've one more with brass handles. I mostly use that one.
So good to know about the other thing that's also so much old.
I think because in India the culture is still very rustic, we often come across so much of things fron the past. Until 2000 or so the house of my mom's father (Nana ji) was built of mud. It was however a splendid 3 storied house. People here still do ploughing with ox and a tool made of wood, not very prevalent but can be seen.

Everything in the US is new, with a few exceptions.

I agree. I don't think US even has a building or a monument older than 300 or 400 years.
