A plane left lying on its blade face?
Shockingly bad treatment of a quality tool.
Always, always, leave a plane lying on its side.
I'll pull up a chair for this one, it could get interesting

My Fender Stratocaster. It's a mere 41 years old now. I bought it new, it's always been way better than I am, and thus I never needed anything else (save for a few spares for when I break strings at a gig). It's been refretted as I wore out the original frets, but I'm more of an acoustic player these days so I won't wear out the current frets. Plus there are no gigs anymore anyway. I have plenty of other guitars should I need to sell a few to buy a mobility scooter or a stairlift one day. But I shall keep the strat!
My hand crank one is about 57 years old and my electric one is 87 years old.
That's a shameOoooh.
I had one of them once.
I lent it to the BIL along with my Quad 33/303.
He went to Malaysia and I've not seen it since.
When I was making some replacement windows for the garage I needed to get into somewhere that neither the plane nor the router would reach, so I knocked up a rebate plane like that from a piece of scrap and a chisel:

The only reason my Zenit won't see me out is because I replaced it with a Pentax K1000 that's even more solid.Like @tyred I have a couple of Zenit 35mm SLR cameras which will probably last for ever. When I bought the first one I was told not to worry about dropping it, as the only thing likely to get damaged was the floor...
My good old Landrover .. I don't plan on getting another vehicle , served me well past few years . long may it continue
