Worn but resistant: 16 objects worn by time that still serve their purpose
We all have some home, or have had in the past, objects of all kinds that we have used and used again, until exhaustion for years and years; we knew perfectly well that some time had passed since we bought them, yet despite the frequent use and the wear and tear of time that nothing can escape, they are still there, ready to be used once again. It doesn't matter if they are damaged, in our eyes these objects are practically indestructible! For this reason we have chosen for you some photographs from the web from people who proudly and affectionately tell the story of their favorite objects, the ones they have owned and used for a lifetime, and which they are not yet ready to throw away!
