[QUOTE="Joe Campbell, post: 3905714, member: 89857"]I don't know that there's a definitive way to tell. But a couple of things to consider: 1) The damaged areas don't look fresh, they look aged. Surely that could be altered intentionally but: 2) What's the point of doing this today? These aren't valuable or really even collected so what's the point of trying to make it look old? I assume these are all circa 1960's, +/- 5 years.
