This is an auction for a fabulous find! It is a true antique! It is a late 1890s 24-page cookbook that is called, "DIXIE PASTRY COOKBOOK". It was put out by the Dixie Perfection Baking Powder branch of the "Gulf Manufacturing Co" out of New Orleans, LA. According to the cover, it was "Presented with Compliments of F.W. Young Proprietor". The cookbook is GORGEOUS! It is a semi-rigid cover (not soft, but not completely a hardback) with so much detail on the cover! A little girl reads a copy of the cookbook on the cover and some of the cover images have raised embossing. The back cover shows a moon and the "Gulf Manufacturing Co. Baking Powder, Extracts &c" and the image of the building says, "NATCHEZ ST" and the numbers "523" and "525" which would refer to the street 523-525 Natchez St. in New Orleans. The other side of the building says, "BANK ALLEY". The covers are in great condition for their age with a faint amount of age spotting. T is a small tear at the top of the back cover and some tearing at the upper left-hand corner of the front cover. The spine is splitting slightly but the binding remains intact. On the inside of the cover page is a fabulous printing that says, "Pharmaceutical and Chemical Laboratory Medical Department Tulane University of Louisiana. F.W. Young Prop. New Orleans, January 9th, 1891. Gulf Manufacturing
