A vintage tin recipe box I found at an antique shop in Sandwich, MA this past summer. After looking up the etched seal on the bottom, I found that it was made by Ohio Art(a metal toy and lithography company that is still in business today) and this box seems to be from the 60s. Not surprising considering its style. It still has a recipe for Carottes à la Vichy cut out of a newspaper, filed behind the vegetables card. I like how they offer a way to use old carrots in place of optimal fresh ones; preventing waste seems to be a common theme in a lot of vintage 50s and 60s recipes, as well as using primarily non perishable ingredients — sometimes to the extreme, resulting in some pretty bizarre meals, but not in this case. I'm going to make it soon ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
