I've left more examples and some ideas under the cut ;)

Basically, you have to "age" the subject of your icon. You can use textures, fonts, brushes, or frames; you can go look for screencaps/pics that are set in a different time than the present; you can use pics where the subject wears something from, for example, the 1960s; some software programs have presets (for example, PhotoScape has "Camera Effects"; Picasa has, at least, the LOMO Effect; I bet there are similar ones in whatever program you use); and last but not least, you could "age" your icon by using black & white/sepia coloring.

more examples:
