I recently got a new one but the old tin and its remnants of paint are still in service, filled with thinner, as a really good oil wash. That said, I'm expecting my tins of Transparent Green and Transparent Red to still be in use when the sun goes supernova as I use about one drop per year. <br />As far as actual tools go, I guess my pin-vice is the oldest. It's a cheap & cheerful one and has seen a lot of service (as a primarily WWI modeller I end up drilling out an awful lot of rigging holes!). A local tool shop sells a full box of 20 micro-bits from 0.3 to 1.6 for about €6. Funnily enough, I have many boxes with the bits from 0.8 up still intact but nothing smaller!
