Question:

Many very simple products have had (and continue to have) very long lives. The table lists some of these. Research the history of one of them, seeking the context (Who, What, Where, When, Why) the inventor had in mind, and the present-day view of their utility, aesthetics and associations. Can you identify what has made it so durable?
