Oldest by date of manufacture, or oldest in terms of the amount of time owned?

My spare ball is a Brunswick Black Beauty, made in 1975.

When last I went to the lanes, I still carried the Roto RH bleeder.  It was being used in tandem with a Roto Gold Grenade.  

The bleeder makes the Faball Blue Nail seem like a kid by comparison (it was an '85 vintage).
