through) there is the seriel number "3001" which defines what piece it is.
Then, in the other corner is another set of numbers "6-251"

It's useful for a few collectors, who collect special bricks and/or very
old bricks (mainly 2x4 test/prototype runs in most cases) also based on the mould
number and mould position number.
Not for the generic modern brick, though.

it was manufactured on?

Date: No. These numbers are part of a mould that will be/has been used for years.
Location: Yes, unless this mould has been used in multiple locations (happened
for old moulds sold/sent to other manufacturing sites back then)
| | I don't suppose it tells me what colour the brick is? My word, that would
be so helpful! Telling medium blue from maersk blue or dark pink from magenta
isn't always easy!
|
Hehe, unfortunately not... The same moulds are used for all colours.

Hi Jan,
Wow, that was really helpful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me  If
only there was a way to guarantee the actual colour of the brick you're selling!
