As one who collects antiques I can assure you that very little of what is sold in "Antique" shops is "old." Real antiques are seldom found in those kitschy little stores with names like "Aunt Maisie's Attic." Many, if not most antique shops are really consignment shops, selling other peoples' items for a percentage of the selling price.
Didn’t pay much at all and it will be an antique one day!
I have to remind myself how fortunate I am to have good friends in the antique / collectable field. Some of their peers aren't as scrupulous.
