Hi Hermannr: I am not asking about the buyer's understanding of the law on antiques, nor about state law; I commenting (complaining?) about sellers who claim they are selling an antique, but it isn't. However, since you quoted the antique definition from Wash. state law, I want to ask; are you familiar with Wash state law? And if so, do you know if that definition of antique is actually used in any way in Washington? I don't think it is. I think Washington dealers follow federal law and federal procedures, and they don't report anything about antiques to the state. But I could be wrong.
