    Put pretty simply, mantiques are any vintage item that makes a fifty-year-old guy remember what it's like to be a kid without any obligations and total freedom to run around having fun—whether his memories of times like that are of him at age five or twenty-five, mantiques help him create a space where he can flash back to a time when he had fewer responsibilities.
