Unusual Country Style Butter Churns
White and Blue Enamelware Borden's Buttermilk "Churn" This is a great display piece for the churn collector, the Borden's collector, or anyone who likes great antique advertising and Country Store items! My understanding is that this was a dispenser that sat on the countertop. It originally had a spigot and would have been filled with ice to cool the interchangeable jug of buttermilk that would have sat on top, much like the way a water cooler works today. It stands about 24" tall with a diameter at the top of just over 12". It is thick white enamelware over metal, and fashioned to resemble a 16-sided wooden stave churn. It is marked in rich cobalt blue lettering front and back. There are a few dings in the enamelware but overall is in real nice condition. Imagine how great it could look with a piece of glass on top displaying your favorite churn, or coffee grinder, or whatever you want to show off! Click for pic

Rare Painted Wooden Churn Manufactured by DeWolf & Co. Portland, Maine A great piece of Country Americana in fine condition, this wooden tabletop churn is in its original blue-green paint and is marked "DeWolf & Co. Manufacturers Portland, ME". DeWolf is an old New England family name, which is where this piece was purchased. It stands about 24" high and the lid, which has a hinged inspection "door", lifts off to reveal a uniquely designed gear-driven dasher mechanism. This example looks like it was used little if at all.
