What's your oldest piece of grow equipment?

Just curious, what's the oldest piece of growing equipment you guys have? I actually have a thermometer that I used my first grow 20 something years ago, way back when I didn't have the internets help and didn't know what I was doing. I still have the books too, but I don't count those as growing equipment. I brought it out when I started growing again a little over a year ago. It was in a box for 20 years, but it is still from my first grow and think it's kinda funny I saved this piece of shit thermometer. When I got it from a friend originally it was already old, and it looks like it was make in the 70's, lol.

Thats just an old thermometer, could have been grandpa's hand me down lol. Just yankin yer chain.

I have a repeat cycle timer w/photocell thats an old Green Air Products model. Have had it since sometime in the 90's. It's in my tent now running my flood and drain pump. Definitely 20+ years old.

Well yours is definitely older.

Speaking of old stuff, last winter I found a BIC ballpoint pen in my stuff that is from the 80's and it still worked! That was impressive.

Ya I actually got it from a roommate back in Tahoe. The story goes, 3 girls lived together and one of them screwed my friend, and then he hooked up with another of them and so shit hit the fan in their house when the first one found out, lol. Anyways, the one in the master bedroom was the one that had to go, so they asked me to move in and were cool with me bringing in my plants. I paid the same as them, but had the whole upstairs. I got the thermometer from the only one I didn't get busy with, lol. She wasn't very appealing to me, but 2 of my friends hooked up with her. Everyone has different tastes I guess, lol. I did do both the others though, lol. Oh shit I almost forgot to mention that I had a threesome with one of those roommates with her other friend also. Good times in Tahoe, lol.

I have a 400w hydrofarm HPS light and ballast from 1991, still works great. Still have a 400 MH from the same purchase date but I haven't plugged that in in a decade or more not sure if it works but I would guess it does.
