I agree - lways interesting to see vintage recipes as well as trying to work out vintage measurements.

I got sucked into a discussion yesterday about the size of a lime, and if limes were the same size in different countries then as now, and if the juice of a lime was always about 1oz or more or less and by how much. (The argument being that 1950s Cuban Limes were probably much smaller than a modern lime, which really affects how to make an authentic daiquiri.)
