router/switch manufacturing year ???

[duc-vu]

Is there any way to find out what year a Cisco router/switch has been manufactured or shipped out of the assembly lines ? Thanks for all help.

Normally there is a yellow "manufacture date" sticker on it.

Thanks, Kevin but on those gears we bought do not have any yellow sticker. Also we wonder about country of origin, for example, made in USA etc...no such label on the boxes. Any help ?
