In France there is a wonderful divide between what you can sell at an antique fair. In the USA we think anything over 5 years old is an "antique". Here in Florida I have seen cars that I consider pretty current with antique plates. Of course, I think I'm pretty current and am considered an antique by many. Over there a true antique must be quite old (I am not privy the the regulations) and have been of a certain quality. If it was mass-produced, is not that old or falls into our category of "kitsch" it is called a brocante. Therefore, if you go to an antique dealer, you will probably be looking at an antique. Whether you pay a fair price....................................it's an antique dealer.
