I sold almost all of them when I moved to Montana. But kept one favorite published in 1942. I thought I had lost it when sort of while I was homeless. I had several publication of this large cookbook as they published a knew one every year it seemed. I gave a copy to my mom for a birthday decades ago. The last time I visited my mom before the pandemic that killed her, she was too old and feeble to cook and I asked if I could have the copy I had given her and she was glad to give it back along with another more widely known and sought after one from the same era. So after carting these two large books through the airports, A week after I got home a friend called and told me they had my original copy so now I have two of the same publication of the one book.
The one I still use is:
(Both my copies are 1942 ed.)
My mom offered two copies of the more popular:
(Both of mine are 1946 ed.)
I have an old canning pamphlet from Ball Jars and some others from Kerr and Mason.
I use them for certain mental block days or for my killer pie crust that everyone likes and assorted dishes that are still really good in these times.
ETA: Used to have a 1913 copy of Fanny Farmer's Boston School of Cooking book but I sold it for a handsome price when I was selling everything I owned.
