Antique vs Vintage vs Retro vs Nostalgia
Found this article today when I was looking for a "definitive" guide to the differences.

I thought it was quite interesting, especially some of the comments

Antique = 100 years old or older
Vintage = 50 years old or older .... like me
Retro = Something squeeky new made to look like last generations goodies.
Nostalgia = A: "Hey, that's just like grand moms machine!" "I want it."
B: "You don't need it".
A: "Yes I do, I don't have a good machine."
B: "You do to, I just bought you a Janome from Walmart!"
A: "Yep, that's what I said, I don't have a good machine, I want this one. It will sew."
