ps, the coffee machine guy came and fixed the machine, but I'm now on water so I can get some sleep tonight. Classic sleep in a non-vintage bed.
edit to add:
In the world of firearms collecting they use 50 years as the legal definition for something to be a "curio" or "relic".
I believe the BATFe and the legislature set the 50 year classifier on firearms, not the collecting community. The collectors might have had some say in it at the time however. I could be wrong since I don't consider a mid-1950's Remington 740 to be a curio and relic, although I do consider one to be a classic firearm of the time and type.
pps, to me an antique car would have mechanical brakes.
