I have a kitchen aid mixer "k" model my mom gave me that her mother gave her. It had to be rebuilt a few years ago but mom contacted kitchen aid and they redone it for cost of parts which only cost 35. It has all the parts with it from when my grandmother purchased it. I have a floor model tv as well that still works. I bought a bunch of parts from an old tv repair shop so I can fix it if something ever goes bad on it.

I have a Lionel train my dad gave me. From his estimates, it is probably about a 1948-1950 model?

My old neighbor had a Wheel Horse lawn tractor which I think was unbreakable.
