And the OP said that he replaced his 3 years ago with braided steel lines, so may not see date stamp.

Yes, date stamp of manufacture. That's close enough for me. On original hoses, they will closely match the date the car was built. Easy to tell original hoses.
On braided steel lines, they have a clear or colored plastic sleeve on them with the markings, including date of manufacture, (month/year), and "DOT," etc.. Anyone running non-DOT lines on a street car is beyond ignorant and opening themselves up to massive legal exposure in the event of a catastrophic traffic accident. Always pay a few bucks more for DOT hoses.
