Vintage
Items in this collection are known to be vintage, or can be dated as such. For us, the term vintage refers to any item that was made between c.1950 and 1999. Sometimes it's difficult to date ornaments with any real accuracy, because designs were used for many years, but materials and fashion give us a fair idea about an item's age. Either way, all our decorations in the vintage category lived for many Christmases before we bought them, and tell us something about the style and design of their period.
