This toy stove belonged to the mom of a Reddit user. Its quality and durability are amazing."

“This is the clock my mom gave me today. She says she had it for 30 years. I’m glad it’s hanging on my wall now.”

“I found this thing in my basement, and I suppose it’s made of silver. Does anyone know what it is? It belonged to my grandparents, so this thing is at least 50 years old.”

“Every middle-class family used to have one. This is a set for spices from the end of the 1880s, and it’s silver-plated. It was supposed to sit in the middle of the dining table. There should be bottles for oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and mustard.”

 

“My Meiji period Japanese brooch. I’ve had it for a while now, and I use it to keep my scarf in place.”

“I picked up what I thought was a quirky table from the curbside. But it ended up being a vintage rocking bassinet. I’m still using it.”

“My girlfriend and I are moving into her great-grandmother’s house. She left all of her furniture, radios, and such. I’m pretty sure it’s all from the ’40s or ’50s and was made in Austria.”

“This is one of my favorite thrift finds. A 1970s rattan bookshelf for $7.99.”

This silver spoon has been serving several generations of the family of this Pikabu user. He inherited it from his grandma."

“This is a heater made for defrosting a freezer.”

“Hampden pocket watch that belonged to my great-grandfather”

“It shocks me that I bought a book from 1672 for $35. I think it still looks pretty good for its age.”

“It’s a glass epergne — a flower vase.”
