Posted on food and drink board but not getting any responses.. How old do you think these are??

My mom gave me and old sewing machine and a bunch of these forms were in there for places around Shreveport(rock house, El rancho bar, rock burger in Princeton, lowells seafood, roys lounge, and a bunch of 7-11's).. They don't have dates on them and are not completed.. The only things I notice that may help with dates are the sales tax is 3% and it has the old type addresses before the 911 addresses came out.

Post early 1960's as Michelob not bottled and marketed until then. Pre-early 1970's as no light beer involved. Also, no zip codes on addresses and no area code on phone numbers. Probably mid-1960's.

pretty cool that you have these. I think some top dogs at the Budweiser distributor in Shreveport would pay good money if you got these framed.

El Rancho was on US Hwy 80 near Clarke's Bayou and Rock House was nearby as well...if memory serves me correctly.

these are out on the tail end of the old bossier strip. About the same time as the old Longbranch.
late 60's early 70's

At the very top it says Speediset which I think is a trademark of the type of carbon paper used. Next to that it has the name of the printing company in Shreveport. It might be Moore Business Forms, Inc. If that is any help.

My grandfather was Lowell Hawkins who owned Lowell's Seafood. It was open from around 1978-1986. I currently work for the Budweiser distributor in Shreveport, That's awesome to see our portfolio now compared to then. This has to be 70s or before as light beer was introduced early 80s. If you are just going to throw these old thing away, I would love to have one from Lowell's Seafood.
