My boyfriend’s mom gave us her set of copper bottom Revere Ware which I’m pretty sure she used for probably 30 years or more? And we are not the most gentle on our cookware and they have held up great. Also when I discovered Bar Keeper’s Friend and steel wool for scrubbing, they look almost new.

Just be careful using those (especially steel wool) too often / too hard, as they can take off some of the material. Not that much material, so it doesn't matter for cast iron since it's so thick, but for a copper bottom pan it's often a pretty thin coat of copper.
