Reminds me of the story (a true story) of the guy who told of being in the George Washington (as in our first President) Memorial Museum in Williamsburg, Virginia.
There the man saw a glass enclosed display that had an axe, leaning against a tree.
The display had a sign that read: "Original Axe used by George Washington to chop down a Cherry tree".
The man was impressed that such an item of every day - and hard use - item, such as an axe, had lasted so long. And I too was impressed that it had lasted so long.
Upon finding the Museum's Curator, the man asked for additional details about this remarkably long-lasting farm tool.
The Curator explained that, "Yes, Indeed, that is the original axe used by George Washington".

"Of course the wooden axe handle had been replaced twice."
"And too, the iron Head had been replace once."

- "But otherwise the axe is pretty much original".
