| Recently, I had a great aunt who passed away. She was of the extreme pack rat inclination, and as my cousin cleaned out her apartment, he gave that which he thought would appeal to those nearby. In one of my boxes, there was an old Kerr canning book. I'm guessing that it was similar to Ball Blue Books. I have not found a date in it yet, but am figuring from the 40's from the saluting clip art ladies in aprons. If anyone has any info on how I could find a year, I would appreciate it. The photo is the front/back covers (spread open). It's quite fascinating to look through--55 pages of instructions and recipes. |

| Inside centerfold pages. |

| Wow! How cool is that! I did a quick google search and came up with this. Do any of these look like your pamphlet? -Anne |

| The cover does match one listed as 1945. The date fits with the discontinuation of manufacturing new jars due to wartime shortages--see bottom left corner of back cover. Fun to know--thank you! Edit--now upon googling 1945 Kerr Canning, it does pull up a different cover too. Hmmm...someone has theirs listed wrong. So, '45 or earlier. |

| I saw that Ebay listing this afternoon too, but it doesn't quite make sense, the seller seems to have combined two separate descriptions for unconnected listings somehow. SONG OF THE BRUSH Japanese Paintings from the Sanso doesn't have a connection to Kerr or vintage Kerr that I can find... But good luck, It's a charming piece to have especially coming from a great Aunt. I have a couple of my grandmothers cookbooks, not in my kitchen in use but put away. . |

| Interesting! Wish I could read the whole thing. |

| I think you are missing the actual cover to the book. I think this because there is no Kerr graphic label, and those books pretty much always had a graphic label cover. But the centerfold page I think is from 1944. |

| That could be. I guess I just assumed it was the cover, since the 'back' page looked like a back page, advertising products. That would explain the lack of date. |

| Now THAT is cool! My Aunt gave me a Funsten pecan pie recipe many moons ago and I was like wonder what it as that name? Well I found out that was a company and they made the recipe. THEN a few years ago I found a pamplet of Funstens and grabbed it for a keepsake. |
