What I like about the generic fantasy market is that nobody controls it, so most companies adhere to various standards that allow you to play the same miniatures in several rulesets and vice-versa. This includes bases, although base size is rarely a matter for these games.

As for oldest, I have some easily-worn D&D “educational dice” that I’m using now. Not sure if they came from the original White Box. Read that the original drafts of D&D didn’t use all the polyhedral dice sold as “educational dice”, so, instead of opening the bag sets and removing the unused dice (which Gygax himself did?), he added some tables so D&D used all the dice!

Oh, and I have some blank dice which were sugar cubes from a 1970’s Peanut’s “Lucy’s Tea Party” game, in which you had a teapot with (not hot) water and squirted it into the other player’s teacups. Drew arrows on them (can still lick them off to restore the cubes 😀 for random direction dice!
