    thanks

    depends really how you use the term really if in artefacts then yes hundreds of years if not thousands but in every day use not so much the case their a rough thought I will try and find that you have certain age groups

    like

    retro .. new item made to look old .
    vintage ... the term "vintage" refers to an item that is at least 20 years old or more (there you go, you 1980's fans!)
    Antique ...In the antiques trade, the term refers to objects more than 100 years old. Some dealers are attempting to lower the standard of an antique. They believe that items over 50 years old should be considered an antique.

    but think for a fun thread comp it can be very loosely applied in the
    spirit of the game ...

    so please join in if you want

    I am way too busy to take anything, let alone think of it, so I will have to use this old thing. I am pretending that in this case antiquities and antiques are interchangeable. Heirloom.
