We judge old recipes the same way..I love vintage recipes and cookbooks, and always,always..the discolored pages have the best recipes. My favorite cookbooks are the same way tho, and someday when someone new owns mine..they too will find discolored pages,where I spattered or had something on my hand. Our rewcipes do tell stories if only we will listen..CChttp://lacenribbonroses.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-3242063680334018162010-03-26T01:56:45.600-05:002010-03-26T01:56:45.600-05:00Those are absolutely the very coolest!

I feel badly that the family didn't keep it, just like I feel badly when I find old hand made linens --- but then, I guess everyone can't keep everything!<br /><br />I have my mother's old recipe box-- same size, different graphics -- and it looks exactly the same -- jammed full of recipes, many dated, many with the names of whomever gave her the recipe -- and I treasure it! And yes, the grubby recipe cards are the ones you want to reproduce -- they are the best.<br /><br />Thanks for hosting!<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-8315836084550771562010-03-25T23:46:27.952-05:002010-03-25T23:46:27.952-05:00Wow, WHAT a FIND!!

I know you will keep yours but eBay can be a great place to find more vintage recipe boxes. <br />And that they are dated is wonderful.
