Just wondering what passes the test of time? I personally have an old Casio watch and if you count fruit trees, those are pretty old too.

    Might wanna have that wiring in your house checked out, that 50s wiring can be a little on the sketchy side.

      AFAIK, it’s only two outlets on the far end of the house. The only things I have plugged into them are some lamps (with LED bulbs) and phone chargers. The rest of the house was re-wired in ~2013 or so. Not sure why previous owner didn’t do those last few outlets, but at least the rest of the house is up to code.

        Ah gotcha. It’s possible that they were a pain to get to without destroying the plaster/drywall and the previous owner was tapped for money, it happens. But yeah, make sure no heavy loads, especially space heaters, and you’re probably fine.
