What can I call this.

[NZVW]

I have a General Info topic to have discussed on this forum.

Having what is pictured below I am wondering how I should (without offending anyone) describe the item.

My dilemma is this.

If I was to describe it as 'Vintage' would it be acceptable (knowingly stating 'Vintage' to attract more $ due to the word 'Vintage')

or

Is it more apt to classify it as 'Early' (having no knowledge what age it is anyway and attracting less $ due to it not being 'Vintage')

or

Perhaps classify it as 'Classic' (also not knowing if it is 'Classic' as different people see things as 'Classic' when others don't)

maybe

Just call it having 'Patina' (but some people pay less for 'Patina' as it implys worn and used and worth even less $$)

Then again,

I could just call it 'Old' but that makes less sense as people will just want it for free because it is 'Old'.

Ok, so once I get the General Info feedback from our Forum I will have a better idea on,

A- What classifies 'Vintage'
B- What classifies 'Early'
The 'Patina' 'Classic' and 'Old' are just variables that fit into both A and B.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are over-thinking it. Just call it "Cool".

Yes Arne but is it "VINTAGE" ?

looks NOS to me( tiny screen)... that term fetches the most.
if it is not i`d call it very very nice

Like Franz said, if it has no traces of being mounted to a hub its (likely) NOS.
Otherwise Excellent or mint 60s? stagged MOMO?

Moito,
I am only using the MoMo (which is in my car and NOT for sale) as an example.
What I am trying to establish is

A- What classifies 'Vintage'
B- What classifies 'Early'

NOS can be anything from both A & B
