As I said, I would have picked the 2 year rule.

I think you mean "would not have".

Also, the word 'original', when describing old photos, used to mean 'not second generation'. And if it was a later print from the original negative, you'd have to add a bit more description than simply 'original print'. Now I'm noticing auction houses and photo sellers using 'original' to simply denote that it's a picture printed on paper, I guess as opposed to a xerox?

Even worse is when something's described as 'vintage.' I doubt many people here really know what that word means, but it doesn't mean 'old'.
