-Beginning of New Answer-. Vintage is considered to be items that are at least 20 years old. At this point, anything from the 80s and 70s would be considered to be vintage. It is antique when it is at least 50 years old, so at this point (2012) anything from 1962 and later.
The term vintage relates to the age of an item as it relates to the year it was created. If an item was created in 2012, then the vintage year is 2012, and its age can be determined by subtracting the vintage year from the current year.
