<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 9469360, member: 182"]I was wondering if you ever get negative comments regarding your antique/vintage gifts. My immediate family is often difficult in this way. They think "used up" rather than vintage, charming, or could never afford such nice things if new. I gave my brother a very nice mantel clock which he loves and he was surprised it was vintage 80s (it was in like new condition). He didn't know what to think about that. I felt like shouting "Yes, see, you can't buy a clock that nice today!" (at least not for the $5 I paid for it, LOL!) That clock has withstood a lot of layers of dust and still works great, which is exactly what I had in mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
