<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 119589, member: 23&quot;]Paige, when you are looking for antiques, you need to do some research before buying.&nbsp; In general practice, an antique is something over 100 years old.&nbsp; For younger people, an item that is older than they are or was from their childhood is going to be considered &#039;antique.&#039;&nbsp;&nbsp; For those of us born in the dark ages - pre 1960 - we have a different starting point.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s hard for us to think of things from our 20s &amp; 30s as old enough for someone to mistake as an antique.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another tip is that if an item is produced in mass quantity, it&#039;s not as valuable as an item that is made in smaller quantities.&nbsp; That means that even if something is older, it may not be as valuable.&nbsp; Antiquing is a hard business because there are exceptions to the rules.&nbsp; Only time and experience will help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
