Description :

Antique M. Brown & Co. Bentwood Butter Churn

Dating

Circa 1890s, this model is constructed from a single oak plank steam-bent into a "U" shape to form the main tank.

The front stenciling indicates the size capacity, and stenciled floral filigree patterns (common to M. Brown designs) are on both sides of the tank.

The corners feature original dark metal bracket supports.

On the side, a manual cast-iron crank handle connects to internal wooden paddle gears used to agitate the cream.

Wood lid with a marble knob.

The churn gears do not turn.

Text and decorative motifs are faded. 

Some scuffs and scratches.

The churn handle is not whole. 

The churn is off-balance and missing one of its spreaders. See pictures for details.
