They do look like platforms from the 70s - look at the straps to hold you foot on. I don't think a form would have straps. But what do I know, all I know is I wore those kind of shoes back then, it's a wonder I survived.

It's too bad no one had the forsight to digitize all this, but like someone else said everyone just walks away. I had the opportunity to clean out the basement of a company I worked for. They told me I could take what I wanted and pitch the rest. More stuff went in my car than the dumpster. Lots of old computers, fax machines, circuit boards stuff like that. In the back there was a bank of file cabinets like this. They wanted me to pitch it all in the dumpster, but looking through the files, I just couldn't bring myself to destroy it all. There was a lot of old sales brochures for early computer equipment, legal documents, personnel records, contracts, etc. I'm glad I saved it all because now the company is gone but I have all the records.
