JoeM 7,742 #1 Posted October 17, 2023 When read, does it make me want to take a closer look? I see this word used in many ads for WH tractors. I kind of knew what it meant, but that is according to wine. So I looked it up. The word wears many hats. As a noun it can be as simple as a good example of a style from the past. It jumps up a notch and then it can be quantified as a group of things that were produced during the same particular period. Adjective wise it might be the best use when comparing to our trusty WH’s. Something old of high quality and lasting value. Just some of what I found. I suppose to sum it up, just a fancy filler word that might just get a little attention. Marketing you know. I have a lot of “vintage stuff”……Most people would not even consider paying money for. 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, usually associated with rusty "treasure" with a tad of recently applied lipstick on the snout... Another one - "Hurry, won't last long!!" translates that the the rust is winning........ And yes, it probably did run when parked 4 decades ago...... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 52,204 #8 Posted October 18, 2023 I grew up surrounded by "vintage stuff" and never realized that it would one day become collectable. Our house was decorated in "Early Yardsale" style and we farmed with vintage museum pieces that were functional. Now that I am vintage I have a greater appreciation for the quality of the stuff we eventually replaced with the latest and greatest whizbang thingamajig. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
