How many of you have old instruction and recipe booklets that came with long-gone appliances in your collections? We're no different, for which we're thankful because these old booklets offer a glance into our social history, specifically entertaining trends, popular foods and which recipes got used the most?
We can tell by looking closely at the pages of this booklet which recipes got used more than once - food residue, sticky pages, they are clues. Putting all of the clues together from the information presented in this booklet and comparing it to other known sources about Hamilton Beach, we can safely put a date range of 1953-1955 on this item.
