I've got one that I think is from the 50s. Still works perfectly. We usually use the instant pot now but I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

We love our instapot for cooking and use it 4+ times a week but you can't beat these big old canners for canning (my wife just canned a bunch of soup, broth, and tomatos from our summer garden that we froze until we had time to process them).

I haven't canned in probably 20 years (me and glass is a bad combination). Mostly pressure cook beans these days. Used to love when mom would can jams. They sit a year or two too long and you've got some great chewy candy.
