Ooh. I like this. Watching and bidding. And it's an interesting discussion, too. In the business I'm in (auction gallery), "antique" = 100 years old or more. But I hear talk that certain kinds of items go by a different standard. I wonder how that works.
This is a beautiful item! By the way, I just found out that when you click that little plus sign on a comment, it gives the commentor one credit!!!! A good way to reward people for their good comments. : )
an antique is really according to the item, an antique car is any older than 25 years, electronics are older than 50 years, anything else is older than 100 years. I hope that helps. This is a nice item all the same but not antique, merely vintage by definition.
