Description: Antique Wood Vial w Paper Label CHR HANSEN'S JUNKET TABLETS 2 5/8" Circa 1895 Click images to enlarge Description Here is a very old wood vial that once held 10 tablets for making junket. The paper label is quite worn. I wanted to make sure that I knew what junket is (a custard type dessert) and in Googling to try to date this I found the JUNKET website! Fascinating! A few tidbits: " In 1877, Johan D. Frederiksen, a Danish dairyman and agriculturalist, emigrated to the United States and the following year opened a branch of Chr. Hansen’s Laboratory in New York State, which at the time was the hub of the developing cheesemaking industry in America. In 1882 the plant moved to Little Falls, New York. In 1891 a new factory built on Lock Island in the Mohawk River at Little Falls began operations; the island was renamed Hansen Island. The factory grew over the years. Frederiksen had the idea to expand the market by making a product to appeal to American women for use in the home. In 1886 Hansen’s Household Rennet Tablets made their appearance, accompanied by a simple recipe to make junket, an English dessert known also by other names such as curds and whey, slip, or rennet custard. The basic recipe has not changed materially since then. As the American public became familiar with the tablets and the delicious dessert made with them, people began to refer to them as “Junket Tablets” (much less of a mouthful than “Hansen’s Household Rennet Tablets for Junket”), and by 1895 the company had renamed them “Chr. Hansen’s Junket Tablets.” Please review the photos, as always they are the best description. You can always meet us for local pick-up and we can deliver to some areas. Just message us! We apologize for the shipping cost. The Post Office has been BRUTAL lately so we are having to do OVERKILL packaging to prevent destruction. Payment MD buyer pays 6% sales tax. Please pay by PAYPAL. International shipping determined by location. If you are an international bidder email me for a quote. Do not pay the ebay generated invoice as the shipping is usually TOO HIGH. I will send you an invoice. Foreign buyers need to email me in advance to find out the shipping cost. Obviously I cannot ship to a foreign country as reasonably as to the U.S. International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. I will combine items to save on shipping. Thanks for your interest! Please look at all my auctions. I pack to the best of my ability (see my feedback comments). I welcome any questions that you might have! Shipping A word about shipping: shipping involves a lot more than postage or UPS charges. We have labels, boxes, packing materials and a "longer than most" trip to the Post Office or UPS. We are very rural and the post office and UPS will not pick up our packages. So we have 10 miles every shipping day and if a buyer pays, we ship IMMEDIATELY, even if their package is the ONLY one to be shipped. We do not over charge for shipping, but sometimes if you are a lot closer than we estimated your shipping expense may be less. Please ask if you think the shipping shown in the auction is too much based on your location, and we will give you an individualized quote. If you live close by you can even pick up!
