We have a 1957 Mai-Kai drink menu with base prices in the 90 cent area and I think this is a dating mechanism universally. Taking the Navy Grog as a base, this is the oldest menu I have seen (copyright 1941, but actually later) with the Navy Grog at $1.65, which I would guess is a late 50's early price as it's close the Mai-Kai 1957 Samoan Grog price. Who has an earlier drink menu? A 1930s drink would probably prices around 35 cents.
