What makes something old considered vintage?

Answer 1

In purist term, most items need to be 100 years old or older to be considered true "antiques". Most countries Customs Agencies hold to the 100 Year definition. However, in recent times the 100 years timetable has become subjective, and can account for less time. It's safe to say a table from 1880 is a true antique, whereas a table from 1942 would be "vintage".
