Shawn Chittle said...: Adam I was thinking the same thing! The date on the lower left says 1970, but those fonts and verbiage are straight outta the 1940's!; June 16, 2011 at 9:24 PM
Andrew said...: The reference to '911' means it was printed sometime since 1968, when the number '911' was selected as the nationwide emergency number.; June 16, 2011 at 10:33 PM
