I expect that my Le Ceuset saucepan set will last forever and be passed down - even if they discover a new energy efficient way of cooking they will still be used as camp ovens for camping trips.

I would like to think that my piano and harp will both oneday be granny's or even great granny's and my books and sheet music and enormous collection of knitting patterns - I just hope that there is someone followign who will love them as much as I do.

And as fro electircal items - it was only recently (within the last couple of years) that my TV and microwave were replaced. They were both 1977 vintage - I can't imagine that anything I have in that line now will alst even close to that long.
