I have TWO Britas, circa mid to late 80s. Still use daily. AND my top doesn't fall off - in fact it's a bit sticky-tight. I am grateful to Brita for building a sturdy prodcut and not changing the filter size. (I get em 5 to a pack at Kmart - cheapest way I've found to buy).

Other items: a set of Tupp measuring cups late 80s, a flour scoop from the 60s, some other Tupp containers (80s), a plastic whipper-spatula thingie which was a freebie at a Stanley Home Products show , late 60s, ( I still remember the demo gal's slip was showing). A plastic grapefruit 'knife' - it's great for separating peaches form the skin.

The Tupp dry msrng cups set included a 2/3C and a 3/4C measure - comes in handy when reducing or expanding a recipe.c Somewhere in my travels, I also found an 1/8 C measure, plastic. You DON'T want to know how old a certain msrg cup is I use to bail out laundry liquid ( came on the Mayflower)
