Voicemail
This morning I woke up and there was a voicemail from Kallen. He wanted to play some pool, but he also wanted to know the difference between "antique" and "vintage." I'm not sure what the technical difference is. To me, vintage represents something from 50s, and on, antiques are anything older. But that is the Suzy definition. Either of you know the correct answer?

I would say Vintage is something that isn't too old more akin to Retro - like something your Mom and Dad would still have like that large green cooler or that old Pop Corn Popper we used to have.
Antique - you have to really blow the dust off of - and if you handle it to harshly it will fall apart. Just like Kallen. :)

Antique: an item that is at least 100 years old. This is the technically correct definition. However some items, like cars, for example, are often called antique because so few of them are over 100 years old. Common usage.
Vintage: Pertains to the year a wine was made. Again, technically correct definition. Common usage is an item that is 50-100 years old.
