Haven't read all the replys, but have you been the QB thread on vintage antique machines?

As far as vintage and antique it depends on the age and the item. I had heard once it has to be at least 100 years old for furniture to be antique-and 50 years for vintage, but much less for clothing I think.

alright...here are photos of the machines I picked up from the museum collection last night. Haven't started researching to see what all I have, I just grabbed a variety of heads that I didn't have and tried to not duplicate anything. If y'all know anything about them feel free to speak up!

Jenn, about all I can tell you is that the Damascus is circa 1920, and the 1895 Singer 28 has "Victorian" decals...
Nice haul!
