It has always been my experience when re-entering the U.S. that items Customs allows as antiques must be 100 years old to qualify. Therefore, I think of all items over 100 as being antique. As the years have flown by, my collection of "vintage" has become antique! Jeri Ames in Maine USA

To add to the confusion about terminology, in the US, "antique" can mean anything over 50 years old. This may apply only to cars (where over 25 is "vintage"), but I have a niggling suspicion that it applies to other things as well. So when US sellers use these terms, they may be accurate. Ju

I have noticed these labels being thrown about and was wondering what the differences are. I particularly noticed it on ebay. I always assumed antique is for anything at least 100 years old. Vintage would be for something less than 100 years old? Am I wrong? Greetings Nath - To unsubscribe send
