Not perfect dating but of some assistance regarding 3ttt:

I won a 3ttt seatpost in a bike race in early 1974, the box was quite tatty, knowing that bike shops often provided dead stock for race prizes, I would very much assume it was in stock in 1973. It had the earlier black fasteners with hex heads throughout. Used it on a track bike I built up in March of 1974.

My first adult bike, a Bertin C-37 had a 3ttt Record stem with allen key quill bolt and nutted bar attachments. Bought that in late June of 1972. The one with all the cool stickers, that I promptly removed to make it easier to polish and lower into the steerer farther.

I did not complain too much about the pizes I got, they were all good-will donations, won some DT spokes in 1974 before many others had seen them locally in SoCal. The 70's, the time of the Corinthians, no cash allowed.
