Did you know How i can find the years of fabrication for Thunderbolt Display? Like Late 2011... 2012... 13, 14, 15...
 
EDID is data that tells the computer what the display can do in terms of resolution and other things.

Download SwitchResX and install it. Open it and select the Thunderbolt Display in the left part of the SwitchResX window. Then, there should be a button labelled "Export EDID" in the right part of the window. This creates a text file with the EDID in your Documents folder. It should be named Thunderbolt Display.txt. Open that file in TextEdit and look for the following section (I've blanked some of my display's data):

Code:
-----------------------------------------------------
------------------- MAIN EDID BLOCK -----------------
-----------------------------------------------------

    EDID Version........1.4
    Manufacturer........XXX (XXXX)
    Product ID..........XXXXX (XXXX)
    Serial Number.......XXXXXXXX

    Manufactured........Week 18 of year 2019

The Manufactured line is what you're looking for.
