When we say that some things used to be simpler and better, younger generations often tend to shrug that comment off simply because they don't know any better. They weren't around then! Sometimes, it's just a romantic nostalgic feeling for the times when we were young and naive, but trust your gut when it tells you that some things REALLY were better back then!
Here are 11 vintage and antique items purchased by the users' grandparents. All are very well maintained, and they all still function perfectly! Some of them are real antiques - like a desk that outlived many owners and is 228 years old and still in use! Amazing, isn't it? This goes to show that loyalty pays off: take good care of your things, and they'll take good care of you, just like with anything else in life.
