Claims that they started giving the cards out in 1929. That
sets an early limit on it. The graphics do look like the
forties or fifties to me. I found a bunch of similar ones
for sale, but none that claimed a date. It did say they usually
had the locations of area restaurants. It might be possible to
figure out something closer if you knew when various locations
opened and closed.
