I have always been taught that something is not antique until is has attained 100 years - hence at 50 we sent my parents 'half an antique' birthday cards.... Retro can be repro whereas I would expect 'vintage' to be the genuine article. Also I think what qualifies as 'vintage' in the colloquial use depends on your age. I have a neice who finds all things 80's positively historical... but then she was born in 1993..... It's a relative thing. But if she asks to borrow any shoes from my wardrobe for her history class she's dust! t.x Oh this is fun.

If you are interested I will e mail pictures. I have an early 1960′s pink double wall Modern Maid oven that still works (plus the manuals that came with it) that I am no longer using.
