Vintage is an item quality used most commonly to designate previously Unique items obtained prior to the Mann-Conomy Update, where it was introduced. This was to increase their appeal in trading.
In the March 15, 2011 Patch, several expensive crafting recipes were modified to be cheaper. To recognize items that had been crafted while the recipes were expensive, Valve upgraded them to Vintage quality.
In some cases, items that have been re-granted to users by Steam support (after being either accidentally deleted or stolen) were assigned Vintage quality.
