[lace] Antiques Roadshow's Definition of What is an Antique in the U.S.

I'm  going by the American editions of the Antiques Road Show that have  
been
shown in the UK, which of course is the only way we can judge  what's
considered an antique in the US. Obviously the experts on that  programme
have been lax in their definition of an antique.  Jean  Nathan in Poole,

Following Jean's line of thinking:
 
It occurred to me it would be best to find what Antiques Roadshow uses as a 
 definition of an antique.  My search brought up a very good definition  - 
and the reasoning behind that definition - which any who are  collecting 
lace, lace equipment, etc. might like to have for informing  their heirs.

Print and put this definition with your Will, if you have items  you want 
to be properly appreciated.  If you wish, you can supplement  with lists, 
photos, valuations if you know them, names of experts they can  consult, and 
personal notes.  Your heirs will find such attention to detail  of great help.

[lace] Antiques Roadshow transcript - Honiton Lace

I only missed a little bit of the discussion between Hilary Kaye (Expert) 
and Pat Perryman (Owner). In view of who the owner was, I think the 
transcript should read Presenter and Expert.

As far as tractors are concerned, 50 yrs plus are vintage, newer old ones 
are classics - and I think those two classes apply to cars as well.  The older 
cars (as in the old film, Genevieve and the London to Brighton car run) are 
veterans - but with those I believe there is a statutory cut-off date rather 
than a progressive cut off.

As far as lace bobbins are concerned, I think that the 100 yrs antique label 
is the one.  Maybe the 20/30/40/50 yrs olds could be modern classics.  I know 
that Tony Archer bobbins, for example, are still very collectible.

Jacquie - off to a tractor and steam rally tomorrow.
