This means it is
impossible for Imbued cultural to have existed before this date.

"Folded Sheet Metal"
http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20000629.html
Folded Sheet Metal is not available from any vendors before or after this change.
It is important to note that Folded Sheet Metal is actually used for very little in crafting.
Recipes that eventually wound up using Folded Sheet Metal:
Large, Medium and Average size Targ Shields (standard blacksmithing)
Two Gnomish Tinkering recipes
An extremely small number of non-imbued cultural weapons and shields
This would be the
earliest possible date for old cultural's existence found so far provided the recipe wasn't added later.
