Vintage Recipe Pamphlet Lot of 5 Borden's Eagle Brand 1952 Betty Crocker Cake Mixes Fleischmann's 1961 Retro Advertising
$29.99
This is a bundle of five vintage recipe pamphlets spanning 1952 to 1993: Borden's Eagle Brand 70 Magic Recipes, Betty Crocker's How to Have the Most Fun with Cake Mixes, Fleischmann's Bake It Easy, Jan Jacobson's Easy on the Cook for Christmas 1982, and Great Cookies for the Holidays.
All five are in great condition, with bright color covers and clean pages.
Each one comes from a different decade and a different kitchen. There are Borden's no-cook pies and puddings, Betty Crocker's party cakes and decorating ideas, Fleischmann's icebox yeast baking, a Michigan holiday booklet full of local advertising, and a 1990s cookie collection, so this lot is as much fun to read as it is to cook from.
