I wish the Antique rule slid up with the years.
Thanks for your replies

Hope you all get an old long box under the tree



I understood that was what you were inquiring about. I, however, don't agree that everything that is not modern is vintage, if I understood you correctly. If we go by the definition of the word, vintage would carry with it the implication that, in addition to old, it was the best of a person or company's work. If we simply use "vintage" in place of "old" have we not cheapened the meaning of it, by definition?

Interesting discussion, SRH
