Complicated Vintage - Terminology in our Changing Times

Complicated Vintage - Terminology in our Changing Times This post really is complicated. I want to start with the term "Antique". Prior to the online takeover into the world of vintage & antiques, vintage was a word that was rarely used...cars come to mind and few other things but basically the word got big when the Internet got big. Vintage is defined by 20 years old or older, Antiques are defined by 100 years old or older. Here's where it gets tricky... Prior to the Internet, antiques were sold in antique shops and at shows. Antique "style" items were made all the time and labeled as "Antique" although they were not. The reason for this was that with so few ways to buy true antiques, people knew that the word "Antique" on packaging, meant "antique style". Now with the packaging long gone, reproductions of "antique style" items (many are of Victorian designs) that were made throughout the 20th Century...

The Vintage American

As a middle aged woman, striving to adapt to a changing world and changing country, I find that I'm at odds with many things. This blog was initially intended to focus on only vintage/antique business topics but as time has gone on...I find myself more concerned with the events of our times. I think many of us have lost ourselves, forgetting who we are and what we stand for. Some of us, possibly fearful of speaking up, lest we be hit with a barrage of anti-American sentiment. We come from tough stock. First we left what we were comfortable with, to enter a world unknown...in the name of freedom. " Edward was an apprentice tanner and leathermaker. He was present at the first Thanksgiving Feast at Plymouth. He was among the first men to explore the shores of the New World in search of a safe landing point. In all likelihood one could claim that he is figured in the famous etching of the landing of the Mayflower. Will Doty was a Civil War veteran and resided in P...

Complicated Vintage - The Overlapping of Some Companies

Basically this is a "not all this is that" type of post. I've found that vintage listings these days seem to be like the old game of telephone operator. You know the one, where someone at one end of the table says something, the person next to them repeats it to the person next to them and so on and so on. What you end up with is never what the first statement or sentence was...that's what happens when you're constantly researching items and pulling up listings of identical or similar pieces and/or companies. I see a little of this married with a little of that, it all depends on how much research the person does. That begs the question, how do you know what the background really is? In my researching, I take pieces and then Google things outside the normal actual piece that I'm researching. I Google the company, the founder and any tidbit I can find within those results that will take me a step further. Why do I do it? I like to:) and it...
