15 Items That Were Built to Stand the Test of Time

For something to become an heirloom, it has to survive long enough for generations to come to see it. Although not all “old” objects are passed down to family, their longevity is still very much appreciated. Whether it’s a century-old sewing machine or a piece of clothing from your childhood that your own children get to wear, these items are the definition of durability.

Now I’ve Seen Everything shows you a few things that need no warranty because they’re bound to last forever.
