Old tools on EBay

[DavidG]

Just been looking in EBay at - Tools, Hardware, Locks
They keep saying Antique or Vintage and I keep looking and saying to my self "but that is what I still use".

Wish they would stop calling my tools Vintage. :mad:
I'm not that old, am I. :eek:

I have seen brand new in box tools in the antiques section :confused:

As kids, we used to laugh at my Dad when we went to museums and he'd say "I used to use one of those". I don't laugh now that I'm doing the same thing. It's worse when you find stuff that you remember coming out new.

unfortunately I find myself saying in museums... "I still use one of those"

And of course there are those things which now seem horrendously old fashioned to us .. but to the next generation are new and fresh.

A few years ago I saw two girls dressed in particularly hideous '70s' clothing walking down the road during the middle of the day.... my first thought was that it was a funny time of day to be going to a fancy dress party.

It was only later when I visited the shopping centre on a Saturday that I realised that they weren't in fancy dress ... they were fashion victims.
