In purist term, most items need to be 100 years old or older to be considered true "antiques". Most countries Customs Agencies hold to the 100 Year definition. However, in recent times the 100 years timetable has become subjective, and can account for less time. It's safe to say a table from 1880 is a true antique, whereas a table from 1942 would be "vintage".

What is the difference between something that is vintage and something that is antique?
The terms can be used for any toy no longer made. Neither are technical terms, so you can't find any agreement in how old a toy is before it becomes an antique. For general usage in the US, an antique usually refers to something old enough that it has a reliable, often historical value and has not been available for many years. Something vintage need not have a reliable value and generally refers to a usable, older item. Some "Mod" style clothing from the 1960s is valuable and collectible. It's normally described as vintage clothing. Flapper dresses from the 1920s are valuable, collectible and historically significant. They are normally referred to as antiques.
