I have a butter churn. Haven't used it. It's a glass jar with a handle on the top like an egg beater, and paddles inside the jar. When we had a milk cow we made butter in a crock churn that had a crockery lid and a plunger with a wooden handle. Up and down, up and down until the butter formed. Then we rinsed and worked the butter until there was no milk comming out of it, and put it into a wooden mold that had a design in the bottom. When turned out onto a plate, the design was on the top. MIL said that making butter was always a kid's job. She'd make bread and the kids made the butter, then they all had a treat when the bread was still warm from the oven. I don't know what ever happened to that crock churn, but I suspect that we were just overwelmed with moving everything and it was overlooked in a corner or behind a door. I'd sure like to have it now.
