Define Toc

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Hello,
Can we, as a group agree upon a time period for what we call TOC. I just saw a saddle in the for sale section described as TOC that is from the teens.

I'd like to see something like this

1890s = 1890-1899
TOC = 1900-1912
Teens = 1913-1919
Twenties = 1920-1929

Thanks,
Chris

In my mind (what a place to be)....
TOC pre 1905
tweens 1905-1912
teens 1913-1919
twenties 1920-1929
 
TOC for an antique bicycle is January 1st 1900 plain and simple. The spread is arbitrary so I say give or take 4 years. Possibly 5. We all know what everyone means.
Every other decade is specific and self explanatory and needs no definition.
 
When was the motorbike/motobike era ushered in with a tank emulating motorcycles of the period?
I consider TOC to end at that point with a shift in style versus by a year cutoff in itself.
