Description

The listing, Box of Old Recipes! Vintage! Comment to Reveal has ended.

I have a rusty old box packed full of old recipes! This is for the recipes only. I will not be shipping the box.
Some of the recipes are handwritten and some are cutout. I took a pic of a Banana Bread recipe that was handwritten and a brownie recipe from Borden.
If you are interested just leave a comment and I will reply with the name of a recipe that is included in the box.
Just to clarify... By bidding you get them all but by commenting you can find out what you will be getting. :)

Questions & Comments

How old do you think these are?

Jul 8th, 2011 at 10:25:27 AM PDT by

Not too sure on exact age age. There appears to be a range. I flipped through a handful and found dates on a few (1968, 1982, 1981, 1978, 1953 and1974) Looks like a collection over the years. It also seems like the handwritten ones were done by different people (friends recipes?).
