Overheard a guy say 'they don't make 'em like they used to' about a rusted meat grinder

Was at the flea market off Route 9 last Saturday and this older fella picks up this beat up old hand crank meat grinder, rust everywhere, and tells his buddy 'they don't make 'em like they used to.' I get the nostalgia, I really do, but that thing was missing the clamp and had a cracked gear housing. I paid $15 for a 1950s KitchenAid attachment that works fine, and it sat in a barn for 20 years. People see patina and old metal and think it's gold. Has anyone else bought something 'vintage' that turned out to be just garbage with a story?
