Colt .45 Government Model, 2022 model. Same pistol that won two world wars. TWO WORLD WARS! Seriously though, it's a little freaky that a 114-yo design is still flawless. I have the Valentine's Day patent printed on canvas. My wife is Filipino, they're 1911 fanatics, IYNYN. (Yes, people say they can be problematic. Those people have knockoffs.)
No idea how old my Sony receiver/amp is, 15-yo? LOL, never even touched all the options on that thing, drives my whole sound system, including remote speakers in the kitchen. Karaoke is badass no matter which way you face!
1981 Sony EQ. Rocks out, little tetchy if you touch it wrong (BLAOOOW!), but sitting still once adjusted, perfection.
70s Pioneer, rackmount timer system. Not in use but as a clock, stupid cool for the $20 I gave.
80s (?) Pioneer single tape deck. Not installed yet!
Remington 1895 10-gauge, Damascus-steel shotgun, made in the same year. It's the crappiest version, looks like the hillbilly's gun from Loony Tunes, fun as hell, only safe with birdshot. (It was made for black powder, not modern explosives.)
20-gauge generic "trade gun" from the 20s. Modern take, "made in China under assorted brand names, same damned unit, stamp a new name on it". Light, never fails to fire, sometimes pops apart after firing. Easy to disassemble!
1999 486SX running Windows 98 on a jerry-rigged SSD. Originally an industrial control box, only ever seen 1 video about the beast, stupid rare. Blew the network drivers, still working on it.
1970s or 80s Revelation brand pump 12-gauge. Took me weeks to figure out it's just a Mossberg rebranded to sell in Western Auto stores. Yes, auto stores sold shotguns in the day.
Sawed off (legal), double-barrel, 12-gauge "coach gun" from 1890 or so. Some guy refurbished it, love the look, dead sexy, no good as an antique.
Assorted crappy shotguns (old sampler for a pic) from every decade except the 1910s and 1930s, I think. Hard/impossible to research, records lost, factory burned or recycled for paper in WWII.
Watches! Wore my 1987 Swatch today. Assorted Casios, new and old, including the "terrorist" version. Wife got me a sweet one yesterday, probably not 10-yo, doesn't count?
My body, circa 1971 or so.
Usually things like this don't bother me this much, but this... Did you just mix up know/no inside of an acronym? It's one letter for both in an acronym
