Are there good public examples of well designed APIs that have stood the test of time?

I always thought the Amiga APIs with the tag lists were cool. You easily could extend the API/ABI w/o breaking anything at the binary level (assuming you made the calls accept tag lists as parameters to begin with, of course).
