Hello All,
A close friend of mine gave me a gift yesterday of a still vacuum sealed
(key opener still on top), unopened 5 lb. can of honey from 1939.

I believe the honey is a one of a kind.

The still perfect label reads:
Bradshaw's
Clover Blossom Honey
US No. 1 Grade A
Extra light Amber

R.D. Bradshaw & Sons
Wendell, Idaho
1939

I have been unable so far to locate Bradshaw Honey. Are they still around?
The sons?

I have instructed my family to donate the can to be sold at an ABF
convention banquet auction with proceeds going to the ABF general fund after
my death. Until then will be a conversation piece.

Sincerely,
Bob Harrison

Ps. I would love to open the can but not bad enough to ruin a one of a kind
part of beekeeping history. What would a 65 year old honey from a vacuum
pack be like?
