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.
