      Unfortunately, it’s not easy to tell. Much of the copy on the box is in Chinese and I’ve not a clue what it says. I’ve not been able to find a reference on the web to a date either. The imagery on it makes me think last 60s early 70s.

    Just ran the image through Google Translate (So take this with a few hefty grains of salt), and it says the Chinese translates to “Li Zengchaoqun’s Cooking Secret Card — Dalian Fried Fresh Milk” So no clues to the date of the card, unfortunately.
