I once did get a good sample for doing such a thing -
they were radio
control boxes for a 1930s bomber. I figure I had something like four or
five percent of the entire production run, which is a very large sample. I
found that there were big holes, some parts with nice even distributions,
and even a repeat serial number. What I learned from this is that it is
hard to learn anything from this.
But was it fun? :-)
If its fun, then its worth it.
I like the simple "nya nya! my serial number is lower!" taunt among
collectors of the same mass produced items :).
