Hey Folks
I thought this was neat so picked it up. Any ideas on an approximate date? It can't be too new with the prices and style of the uniform. regards |
Maybe late 40's to early 50's. Just a guess.

thanks

I'm going to say late 1930s to early 1940s.

I'm thinking postwar...the use of the term "Printed in U.S.A." may provide a clue; anyone know when that would have become required by law?

I don't see any postal zone numbers in the addresses. I'm not sure, but I think these came into existence during WWII.

Dan - I am referring to the postal zone codes that were in effect BEFORE the Zip Codes were instituted. As I recall, they were 1-digit and 2-digit numbers, and they may have only been used for the larger cities. Also, and again I could be wrong, but I think the old zone codes were incorporated into the Zip Codes as the last 2 digits of the Zip Codes. See the vintage WWII-era pic below in which the address for the Cleveland Vault Co. is 8616 Buckeye Rd., Cleveland 4, Ohio.

Thanks Val...I've never even noticed those codes before.
