I have seen the definition of age greater than 100 but have never seen
anything close to 25 as being defined as antique.

I don't know about tariffs, but I've always understood the definition of
"antique" to mean 25 years or older, not 100. A 1920 phonograph is an antique
by any definition.

That will work for the items that you are willing to spend the time and
$$ shipping. I still would want to very carefully read the tariff to
see just exactly what is and is not covered by the damage coverage.
Antique has a definition and it usually means 100 years old or older.
The tariff also usually states that it supersedes any promises, claims,
or off-the-cuff comments made by any employ or agent that does not
match the tariff.
If they back the truck over it or stab it with a fork truck you will
almost always get paid no matter what it is or how old it is. Other
than acts of obvious negligence UPS and the Post Office are a major pain
to deal with unless it was registered mail.
