The direct answer to your question is that manufacturers often put a date 
code as part of their logo, and this can be deciphered, more information 
here http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/misctext.htm#glass

If your glass is other than Triplex try Googling '<manufacturer name> date 
codes'

But then, you may mean something completely different ...
