Don't you love the tin! It's the Queen Elizabeth. Found it one day, and then the red box the next. I heart hearts.
I'd like to eat a couple of Benson's 'Quality Confections' right now.
Or maybe have a cigar? Cigar boxes, to be used as storage or maybe altered at some point. . . .
Actually, it's time for lunch . . . maybe I can find a recipe or two in the 'Electric Refrigerator Recipes and Menus -- SPECIALLY PREPARED FOR THE GENERAL ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR.'
Copyright 1927, original price two dollars (which seems like a lot for back then).
Bonus of handwritten recipes tucked inside -- I especially like that the recipe for Egg Spatzen was written on a scrap of MARSHALL FIELD & COMPANY paper.
Would you join me for an Informal Luncheon? I'll serve salad greens and dressing or maybe a jellied soup stock, kept in a covered glass jar in my fancy General Electric refrigerator.
And we can have frozen whipped cream on our dessert -- maybe even delicately tinted pink green or yellow. Fancy.
