I thought antique was defined as over 100 years old?

>>>From: Tamara P. Duvall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
> They're not old, vintage or antique, but "Ancient turned wood lace pillow
bobbin".

After nearly a week of living with people of 4 generations I've learnt that
what's "ancient" to one person, is "my (teen) mother" to another...
Applies, in spades, to the shown bobbin (#42)   <<<

Well, 1950s qualifies as "antique" (greater than 50 years old), and that's
after I was born!  I have pondered the need for another term for the stuff
I'm looking for (pre-1900s) and I can sympathise with the person using
"ancient" instead of "antique".
