Since everybody else is doing it, here goes nothing...

I have (and are still used somewhat) the following calculators

TI SR52		bought in 1975 - has new battery pack
HP 19c		bought in 1978
HP 41c		bought when they came out (something like 1978 or
		1979)
Casio Scientific Solar	1982
Casio fx-7000G graphics 	bought in 1986

I think almost any calculator will last "forever" given proper
treatment, but I must admit that my HP19C is still my favourite
for key-feel and solid feel overall.
