There is a lot of confusion when describing items using words such as Antique, Vintage, Collectible & Art Deco. I have created a list in order to help the buyer be well informed on the way I list my items and how I place them into certain categories


ANTIQUE 100 years old Or EARLIER


COLLECTABLE

We all collect different things.Some have mass appeal to some and hold little appeal to others :) in my opinion a collectable can date from the early 90s TO THE TURN OF THE CENTURY


VINTAGE- At least 20 Years old



RETRO to me is a style & design -Usually the term RETRO refers to items of the '50s '60s & '70s
