I have brushes that are 20 years old
we have three Baker Blankets that 65 years old… still usable, nothing wrong with them… we bought them from a farm that was closing while in Kentucky back in the 1970s
Wowza!! You ought to take pics and send them to Baker!
I took Koenig boots home on trial today that are stamped Made in West Germany. So they’ve got to be at least 30? As my mother would say, “they have a lot of wear left in them”. Lol. There’s another, virtually identical pair at the store that are the same age and look brand new. Haven’t even dropped at the ankle. I guess someone had a pair for daily use and a pair for showing. I might go back for them depending on how much it will cost to cut them down.
English website version does not work at the moment (?), but Koenigs says that they are producing boots for 160 years and the idea is to have longlastig boots worth to repair if necessary. Production is still in Germany. Link to their recent leather might be interesting http://www.terra-care.de/en/index.php
