You might want to give "<a href="http://motorcycle.freebase.com/type/schema/base/motorcycle/motorcycle_part_number_manufacturer">Motorcycle part number (manufacturer)</a>" a gander. I created a <a href="http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/user/spatialed/statistics/dated_location">"Dated location"</a> type to store "Made in" info for this kind of detail.<br>

I would think a date property "discontinued_on" would be more useful.<br>
<br>
Anything without that property would still be in production.<br>
<br>
Of course, this scheme gets confused about products that go out of<br>
production and then go back into production.<br>
