I managed to run away today! Yes, I needed some time to recharge.
I found this old (1930's) Tin. $1.49. I did a little research and found this old recipe on a blog to share with you. I did not make the brownies, but the tin will be used.

MOM'S BROWNIES
Mom's brownies are cake-like with a powdered sugar topping. They are not as heavy and rich as many recipes. If available use Dutch cocoa, like Droste's, otherwise the brownies won't have the lovely intense chocolate flavor. These are great with icy cold milk and a good book. My Dad would see me with my glass of milk, and brownies piled high on a plate as I headed for my favorite reading corner and quip, "Those will look good on you!"
1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
2 eggs
2 T cocoa mixed with 1/4 c water (Mom used extra cocoa if she couldn't get Droste's)
1/2 t vanilla
1 c cake flour
1/8 t baking soda
She continues to show how to make these on her blog if you would like to see it.
