Yes they are both old and rare. Good ones are indeed very rare.

Remember ladies and gents, these are just category titles I'm playing with. Any other ideas are welcome.

Hmmm... thinking about categories is thought-provoking. It would be nice if this article were to complement the rising definition of heritage by helping to further it, clarify it.

How about:

Ancient: Early Foundational (Dorking, OEG, WFBS, etc..)

Traditional: Late Foundational (La Fleche, Ancona, Crevecoeur, Hamburg, Minorca, Lakenvelder, Dominique, etc...)

Victorian Composites (through turn of century) (Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Orpington, etc...)

Early Industrial ( RIR, NH, Barnevelder. etc...)

Late Industrial (Delaware, Holland, etc...)

Very nice.
It bothered me to see "Victorian" try to span almost 100 years. Her Majesty was mighty influential, but not quite *that* much.

Still, I'll miss those "Modern" and especially "Post-Modern" classifications. Just blame it on the artist in me.

What about Modern Composites then?

Joe,
I like the Early/Late Industrials, but I was trying to make it as simple as possible with as few categories as possible: let me keep thinking: y'all keep writing.

On this side of the muddy pond the good Queen was influencial long past her death.

What about early modern instead of Victorian, and late modern instead of post modern? Post modern doesn't make sense without a modern period. You could also call 1945- present contemporary, in which case you could call the Victorian modern.
