When my grandmother died in 1995, I was the recipient of her iron, ironing board and percale sheets. The set of sheets are sixty years old - not a hole or snag in them. The iron needs a new cord but works perfectly. I believe the iron is about 50 years old.

Overall? It's a great community. Almost everyone gets along good without any bickering. Seems like it attracts spammers but we nail them as soon as we see them. People of all ages and from around the world here to help others and have a good time doing it.
