GO, I think they're from typed out mail order price lists, not receipts.
If you have any idea where in the world they might be from, that could help narrow it down, but it'll be tough. From the looks of it, whoever made up these lists is using a typewriter, not a computer. They're probably not on the Internet.
I know two coin dealers here in Australia with lists similar to this. They don't do ebay, they don't have a Web page or e-mail, they don't even own a computer. They still type out (on a typewriter) and send out photocopied mail-order lists to people on their mailing list, 1980's style. Even today in the Internet Age, there must be tens of thousands of such dealers still around - especially in places where the Internet is expensive, unreliable or Government-monitored.
They'd all have more-or-less identical-looking lists. I think tracking them down will prove virtually impossible.
