One of the best gifts my parents gave me for Christmas was the Presto Salad Shooter, probably advertised and sold by Ronco! That thing is so old and so darn useful – it still slices and dices my potatoes perfectly. I know for a fact it’s given me over 35 years of use.
I’m hard-pressed to think of any other practical and handy tool that has lasted that long around here. Oh – maybe the plunge router my father-in-law gave me as a wedding gift? That is another “vintage” claim to fame.
My children will be so fortunate to inherit such lovely devices, won’t they?
