Robin Hood Flour Recipe Box 1950s to 1960s with Handwritten Recipe Cards

This Robin Hood Flour recipe box is a 1950s to 1960s promotional plastic kitchen piece packed with handwritten, typed, and printed recipe cards.

The cream lid is detached because a piece of plastic is broken at the back hinge, but the lid still fits and sits correctly on the burgundy red box. The recipe cards show toning, creases, edge wear, writing, and use from years in the kitchen.

Inside is a dense assortment of vintage recipes and dividers, including sections for favorite recipes, icings, and cooking with Rice Krispies, along with Robin Hood printed recipe cards and recipes written on index cards and loose paper.
