Centerfire Headstamps

Looking for a good source; on-line or "library", that shows various headstamps and correlates them to date of manufacture.
I've finally gotten smart and am tossing OLD brass that my dad carted out of New Haven back in the late '30's and early '40's. Too many split necks, head separations etc. I've always reserved them for light practice loads, but even this is seeming unwise.
I know what is really old, and I have bunches of new stuff. (Mostly Rem.W-W and Federal) but I also have in between stuff that looks reasonably new (Ex. "W-W SUPER .308 WIN") that I'd like to put approximate ages on to help me decide what to chuck and what to keep.
Thanks,
