About 20 years ago I inherited a gray plastic and metal collapsible luggage carrier from my step-dad. I have no idea where he got it, but it couldn’t have cost more than $20 20 plus years ago.
It has been on airplanes, after hauling luggage. It has hauled dirty laundry to the laundry room. It hauled our old washing machine at our old flat to the curb for pick up. It has hauled flat packed bookcases from car to house.
Today we used it to haul three flat pack modular units from Argos to the flat, about 4 blocks, to add to our furniture collection. And I noticed that it is finally broken. One of the pieces seems to have snapped in half. It managed to haul the units home, but once they are no longer attached I think it will be time to trash the trusty old thing.
I doubt I will ever find anything as good to replace it. It has truly prevailed.
Good bye old plastic and metal luggage carrier. I will miss you. 🙂
