"vintage" floats around on Ebay, too. It's derived from descriptions of wine: Vintage '65, for example. Somehow the year part was dropped. It's really a questionable term. It appears to mean 'old but not antique.' Vintage 1930 has meaning. Depression era has meaning. WWII vintage is also meaningful. Vintage 2004, O.K. "Vintage whatever is indefinite.

Can you tell I don't care for the word as it is currently misused? :?
