Thanks to Dela Where for giving such good information on both the canners and the canning books.
I think mine is a Mirro and more than likely I bought it from the Sears Catalog.
Now that it is gone from my mail box, I save a lot of money.
LOL, I just don’t buy anything.
Oh, Granny... You are bringing back memories. My father worked for Sears for about 12 years. He was a problem store Manager which had us moving 26 times in 8 of those years. Then for the last 4 years we were in Cuba where he set up the warehouse and mailorder throughout the island. (Before Castro!)
I certainly remember the catalogs - my favorite was the farm book. (Ok, I’ll admit that as young boys we looked at all those risque models in bras and panties too, even had our favorites we watched for in each general catalog that came out) You sure are bringing back some memories.
You know, I sure wish I had a David Bradley 2 wheel garden tractor like we used to have when I was growing up... They had just about every attachment you could ask for. Plow, disk, planter, cultivator, sicklebar mower, generator. They don’t make equipment like that anymore - I have searched and searched and about the only place they still have that type of equipment is in the far-east.
That farm book had everything you could imagine... incubators, brooders, day old chicks, milking equipment, right up through field machinery.
Well, can’t turn the clock back, so guess I better get used to dealing with the times and resources we have.
