"Old time" and "old timey" are terms used to describe stereotyped images and representations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, generally not more than a generation before or after the start of the 20th century. The term "old timeyness" is used more rarely. All these terms may also be used in a more general sense, in which case, they are synonymous with "old fashioned" or "antique".
