[Hallicrafters] OLD OR VINTAGE OR ANTIQUE

[David C. Hallam]

Of course the terms are highly subjective.  My wife deals in vintage and
antique items, jewelry, furniture, etc., etc., etc.  Vintage in those items
is considered to be about 1960's and maybe early 1970's to about 1930's.
Antique is 1920's and earlier.
