They are old, maybe vintage, but not antique, that would mean they would have to be over 100 years old and these have a few decades to go before that happens. Even if they were over 100 they were mass produced in a factory, and if the finish was ruined to begin with a proper refinishing job doesn't hurt the historical or monetary value in any way.
