Description

Beautiful antique album of friendship with dates of 1885. This was very likely started earlier , this is just a date recoded by a “friend” Full of wonderful handwritten messages, recipes … What a wonderful piece of history this book is! I have been really torn about getting rid of it as it is truly one of a kind . The historical cookbook / handwritten recipe book collector can truly appreciate it. This is showing age wear, usage wear, storage wear , heavy wear, binding issues, previous repairs, ….. it is at least 140 years old….most likely was carried around very frequently …. please do not expect it to look like a cookbook off the shelf ( it won’t) This is a absolute treasure that is deserving of a special home See photos ( please zoom in to really see all the nuances of this beauty!

    I LOVEEE this little gem of a pocket magazine, "TEMPO" - September 6, 1954! Such a beautiful Marilyn cover and in equally beautiful vintage condition...just as described! Plus, it was packaged very safe and securely and arrived real fast! I can't thank this ebay seller enough AND for giving me a great deal on it! I'd highly recommend them and definitely buy from them again! They're ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ with me! THANKS for everything....Cheers & Hugs, William 🥰

    Amazing fast shipping speed and well packaged to withstand any bumps along the way. All the pics were very helpful in pointing out any important details and it was perfectly as described. Now the price is what caught my eye, what a savings. The condition of the cookbook was excellent considering its age. Everything was top-notch from beginning to end, very pleased. Hope to find more treasures again soon, thank you for the great service.

    This is relatively uncommon Stereoview card, but it was priced very competitively compared to similar listings. It was packaged VERY carefully and arrived without damage of any kind. The description was accurate, but taking it out of the packaging surpassed my expectations: details and condition of this item (well over 100 years old) remain excellent. Thank you!!!
