The point of such a move would be to limit this kind of puzzlement for
voters when new elements come out. It only needs to be a single set,
and even a hint would help a lot in most cases ("from Star Wars sets",
"gear from very old (1960's) BASIC set", etc.).

The point of this would not be to verify authenticity, it would simple
make it easier for people to place the element "out of context".

The list I posted is, AFAIK, exhaustive as of the present time. These
things always change, of course. I'd check very carefully with the
Fantasy
Belville sets that are in the latest S@H catalog, there could be a
possibility
of them there, I would think.
