I'll second that - Any quality cast iron cooking gear, including pots, fry pans, and dutch ovens.

I fear much of it will be thrown out by unknowing children upon the death of their parents. Ohhh ... that stuff is gold!

(I've somewhat recently acquired a new appreciation for cast iron)


I would also like to think that my Ritter and Becker knives and my Snow & Nealley axes would still be around and useful 50 years from now - if my children recognize what they are when I'm gone. Will the synthetic knife slabs make it that long?
