Assorted mid-century, mini recipe booklets highlighted by cute illustrated art. The Bar-S Holiday Ham booklet in particular is super and printed on some strangely thick, almost transparent parchment paper. I have nothing else like it in my collection. The other scans are booklet covers only, with nothing really much of interest inside, unfortunately... rounded out with a couple of super-sized scans from a teeny Pet Instant Drink cook book featuring dancing hot dogs and potatoes.
Yeah, that holiday ham book really rocks! I love the second scan, with the filmstrip of the woman first presenting, then carving, and lastly levitating her (then disappeared) ham. So totally great. I can just smell the cartoon pineapple glazing through these images.
ReplyDeleteI also like the hand-lettered title of the butter book. In some strange, Last Tango in Paris kind of way, it seems appropriate that all the rosy-cheeked caricatures in the illustration look mildly embarrassed.
I really love that ham guide. The hams and candles and silverware are so fab! And the red dots!
ReplyDeleteI like that milk bottle's apron too.
And that hot dog with the hat!!!
I had a horrific fumetti post lined up next but the book is bound so weirdly I'm having trouble with the scanning... might have to make it for another post until I can figure out how to do it without breaking the spine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments! :)
I really want soft-shoe weiner guy on a t-shirt.
