Skeuomorphs!

Skeuomorph or Skeuomorphism is a term used in the history of architecture, design, and archaeology. It refers to a derivative object which retains ornamental design cues to structure that was necessary in the original.[1] Skeuomorphs may be deliberately employed to make the new look comfortably old and familiar,[2] such as copper cladding on zinc pennies or computer printed postage with circular town name and cancellation lines. The word derives from Greek, skeuos for 'vessel' or 'tool' and morphe for 'shape'.[3]

And thanks to Wikipedia here are some examples.

1. Decorative stone features of Greek temples such as mutules, guttae, and modillions that are derived from true structural/functional features of the early wooden temples,
2. Injection-molded plastic sandals that replicate woven strips of leather,
3. Various spoke patterns in automobile hubcaps and wheels leftover from carriage wheel construction,
4. Famously, fake woodgrain printing on thousands of modern items of plastic, Formica, or pressboard furniture,
5. Fake stitching in plastic items that used to be made of leather or vinyl and actually stitched together,
6. Tiny, non-functional handles on small maple syrup jugs,
7. A fiberglass boat with striations made to look like wood planking,
8. 80's Handheld LCD games translated into virtual LCD games. ex. http://www.skeuomorphgames.com
9. Non-functional air intake grille on the new (electric) Chevy Volt,
10. Elaborate lacing on children's Velcro-secured shoes,
11. Bowsprits mounted on the bows of steamships (which, having no sails, require no rigging),
12. Almost all of the digital depictions of buttons, sliders, dials, and other mechanical controls (which immediately suggest their functions to mechanically experienced users) on the buttonless surface of the iPhone and iPod Touch,
13. Jiggling needles of the tachometer and speedometer gauges at startup on the digital screen display in modern semi truck cabs,
14. Fake colonial window pane frames trapped between the large, twin glass panels of modern sealed energy-efficient windows,
15. Impressive, large-diameter concentric assemblages of black and silver "hardware" encircling the tiny objective lenses on most consumer-grade digital still and video cameras.

And a few of my own that I can think of are lights shaped like candles that my mom uses for Christmas, those starbucks coffee containers that are plastic but are made to look like the disposable ones, the option that your phone can been when you push a number to dial..like in the old touchtone phones. Im sure ive seen a bunch even in the last hour, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, haha.
