  • Description

Dime Recipe Book ? Originally published in 1861, this book was sold as a Companion to the Dime Cook Book. This book is not a cook book, but rather a book of recipes for household products and toiletries. The book includes recipes for carpet cleaner, furniture polish, hair treatments, tooth powder, skin ointment, cosmetics, perfumes, glove cleaner, mildew remover, canning fruits and vegetables, coffee substitutes, wines, soap, glue, ink, and more. Also contains a section on medical remedies. 97 pages plus ads, Facsimile Reproduction

Evidently the title caused confusion even in 1861, since the Beadle Brothers saw fit to put "Companion to the Cook Book" at the top of the cover.

I have a question I need labels for a 1859 Sharps it is a 54 caliber . I notice your labels say 52/100 caliber am I missing somthing

Hello,

The Sharps labels are copies of the labels found in Echoes of Glory, Arms and Equipment of the Union page 46. Since I print all my labels, I can put 54 on there if you wish. Just mention it in the comments when you order the labels. Thanks for asking. Bob

John,

The Sharps rifles at the time were 52 caliber. The modern reproductions are 54 to match modern made ammo.
