$24.99$0.00
This three-piece vintage cooking ephemera bundle brings together advertising cookbooks and recipe pamphlets from the 1920s–1930s—ideal for anyone who loves early American home-cooking history.
Food companies once handed out these small-format cookbooks and door-to-door sales reps, making them wonderfully collectible today. Inside, you'll find classic cakes, early convenience-food recipes, cocoa treats, lemon pie instructions, and plenty of retro kitchen charm.
Each piece is photo-verified and ready for your collection, display, or recipe inspiration.
