To be a antique an item has to be at least 100 years old. But as a collectable it might have some value. I have an old Adam computer and to find it's value I surfed ebay to see if people were selling any of them - and they were. The Adam wasn't worth what I paid for it, so it still sits on a shelf waiting for I don't what, I just like it.
Yes, like everything else, it will become an antique. Mind you, it won't be worth much for probably at least another 20 years. If you have a place to put it out of the way I would keep it. If it is in the way or you keep on moving it, ditch it.
Thats old! But not an antique. An antique has to be at least 100 years old or more to qualify.
Hope I helped!
i think you should definately keep it. everything becomes an antique for the most part. my dad has a hat that's worth money from when he was a kid =). but don't fight over it.
