About This Item
Pillsbury Flour Mills Company. Minneapolis., 1933 Book size about 6 1/2 by 9 inches with unnumbered pages. Bound in an aluminum clam shell box with front cover Art Deco lettering and raised spine lettering. Interior contains an 11 ring metal binder with 224 recipe cards arranged by category (Cookies, Pies, Salads, etc.) for a total of 11 categories plus a group of blank cards for the owner to fill in. In all my years of dealing with books this is the only moderately priced aluminum book binding I have seen--usually seen today in modern expensive art books. The 1930's were probably the beginning of aluminum cookware in the home and perhaps the publishers felt this was a clever way to promote their book. Obviously very expensive to make. But for rubbing to the aluminum covers (Most noticeable on the rear cover) this appears to be an almost unused book. NEAR FINE. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket.
