In most cases, the new one is going to be in nicer shape.
it's not like 65 corvette vs. 2005 corvette.
It matter A LOT in regards to value. I had a modern Wegner, Cow Horn chair that I paid a grand for. The same piece from the original (limited) production run would have been 10-20,000... if I could find one.
BTW, all my stuff is era correct vintage AND it's in superb shape. Just like bikes; you have to know what, and where you're looking.
