1950s American recipes are indeed horrifying. I’ve got an excellent vintage Good Housekeeping cookbook (none of the recipes are the best but it gives a wide gamut of basics to refer to, if needed). There is a section including aspics, which is just awful.
I would like to see the recipe of that mayo cake(?) in the center.
I (potentially) got you.

There are shrimps in it? I thought they just mixed gelatine, yogurt, mayo and some spices. O_o
