O THE ANTIQUE
DETECTIVE
Anne Gilbert
Cooking History In Old
Cookbooks, Pamphlets
Cookbooks don’t have to
date to the 19th century to be
collectible.
In fact, collectors are honing
in on the pamphlets and book
lets from the early 20th century
to the 1960 s put out by food
processing companies, such as
Jeil-O, Heinz and major appli
ance manufactors such as Gen
eral Electric. Like the earlier
cookbooks they offer a history
of what was popular. For in
stance, in the 1930 s no lun
cheon was complete without a
Jell-0 mold.
The next generation found
the recipes no longer in fashion
and trashed the pamplets and
booklets. These days those
items are being added to cook
book collections.

and city newspapers. By the
19405, cookbooks were put out
by churches and social groups
as fund raisers, which is a prac

The last major auction spe
cializing in gastronomy (as it is
known), was held at Sotheby’s
in 1984. It consisted of 1,500
bookery books, collected over
the years by Marcus and Eliza

books in the collection dated
from as far back as the Renais
sance, covering five centuries.
