A rare gem and a special find, this vintage 1939 Beloit State Bank Recipe Calendar is a unique addition to any collection. It is a perfect fit for collectors of calendars, vintage recipes, or advertising memorabilia. Every month is there, with lots of timeless recipes.
It's a 1939 calendar, so it's showing some yellowing and age, but there's no writing or any tears on any of the months. Constructed of newspaper-like paper and poster board with a metal piece for hanging. Some personal insight, this hung in my mom's kitchen, but since I have no one to pass it down to, I'd like to find it a new home where it can be cherished and loved.
January through December, each has a main dish or two on the front of the month, with side dishes, desserts and appetizers that stand the test of time on the back. Even a place for personal notes and "Things to Remember". Each month is also a pocket and the familiar Household Budget Form and Cooking Tables make up the back panel. Please refer to all the pictures.
A curious note, this is from the Beloit State Bank in Beloit Wisconsin, so before Beloit was part of Illinois. This fact and all the vintage recipes and features make it a unique piece of history.
