Antique Recipes From inside Modern Priscilla Cook Book. Handwritten and vintage newspaper clippings

I found this old antique book at a sale and it is stuffed with handwritten recipes as well as old newspaper and magazine recipes.  The owner also wrote recipes inside the book as well as gluing some recipes inside as well.  It is all falling apart, but I can not pass up nostalgic stuff like this. Below are some of the recipes I will share.
