vintage has a couple different meanings. it can just mean old or second hand. In that case anything that you have that was owned by somebody else prior to you is considered vintage. It can also mean anything from a previous era. I usually think anything from the 1920s to 1980, not including the 80s, is vintage. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage_clo...

Antique used to mean at least 100 years old, but now the distinction has blurred a bit and people use the term antique to refer to something 50-75 years old. To me, if it is over 30% of your life span, its vintage!
