Vintage Recipe Pamphlet Bundle of 7, Campbell's Wesson Chicken Hamilton Beach and USDA Pickles, Mid Century Lot

Seven mid century recipe pamphlets in one lot, from brand kitchens and from the government. Recipes for Quantity Food Service from Campbell's Kitchens is the largest piece, a landscape booklet with a tan cover and a red soup bowl.

The chicken pieces are 101 Glorious Ways to Cook Chicken from Wesson and Favorite Chicken Dishes from the Tested Recipe Institute, printed for General Motors personnel. Let's Eat Outdoors covers picnics and patio parties, and the Hamilton Beach Model 70 Mixette manual brings the appliance directions with it.

The last two are Scandinavian Christmas, subtitled A Calendar of Customs and Cookery, and Making Pickles and Relishes At Home, USDA Home and Garden Bulletin No. 92. The set carries the usual shelf wear of kitchen pamphlets, with the Campbell's booklet showing the most toning.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process your order within 1 business day, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
