and referred to an on-line dictionary. I note that the dictionary is an American one.
In the UK an item has to be more than 100 years years old to be antique. Less than that is vintage. So we wouldn't use them together because they have different meanings. Both could be collectable, but that frequently refers to stuff from our own lifetime as the words 'antique'and 'vintage' are usually sufficient. Sainsburys Supermarket sold a limited range non-plastic bags a couple of weeks ago, and they are 'collectable', certainly not antique or vintage.
