What you should do is focus on dates (the year a Lego set was in

While it's true that we can put a date on sets, it's presumably a lot harder
to put a date on pieces.
Would it be possible to distinguish between a box of assorted bricks from
the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or 00s?

Obviously some pieces had a limited production life, and the range of
colours seems to increase over the years. But the bricks were a mixture of
"ordinary" colours (e.g. red) and of "ordinary" shapes (e.g. 2x4 bricks),
would anyone really know?

My second question is "is age relevant to the value or appeal of Lego"?

Would you pay more for Lego just because it was old (as distinct from being
rare)?
Would you pay less for Lego just because it was old (as distinct from being
damaged or in poor condition)?
