Old Guy & Old Cookbooks

Not sure how old Mr. Clown is but I've had him many years and he belonged to my Uncle John before that so he's old.  Uncle John loved his clowns.

Behind him are some of my books.  Jim Lee's Chinese Cookbook is dated 1968 and one of the other books sitting there called Pots, Pans & Pioneers (which you really can't read because it has fallen apart some) is dated 1974.  So I think I met the old challenge - maybe :-)  Don't look at the rest of the mess.  Lol!
