I have just wondering if anyone knew when Lego started putting the part number
on the pieces. I have just found part 3176 which looks fairly 'new'
but has no part number. It just has the numbers 5 and 04 on the underside.
What do these numbers refer to?
Apologies if this has been asked before - I cannot find a thread.
Thanking you all

I have checked many sets. It appears that the turnable 3404c02 was first produced
sometime between 1974-75 and then, it was replaced by 3403c01 in 1976.

  Ok I have ran across another color issue, I have ran across this a few times
but this time both parts came from the same used set. Assume both are blue but
1 is discolored. Does anybody sell these or do they go in the scrap bin?

It is discolored from age. I think someone calls it "brittle blue". I have
seen this in my inventory, brand new blue bricks turned yellowish, inside and
out. I donate them to schools. Sometimes these blue parts will crack easily,
especially minifig torsos. It's not all blue parts, so some blue parts are
made with a different recipe?

Someone else talked recently that he opened a MIB set from the '90s had a
lot of blue pieces discolored.

It's a known issue, but I'm not sure if anyone knows why.
