Lot Details

The crock with chips around rim. The churn is framed onto a wooden platform. From the rear corners two rods rise to mount a belt-driven wheel that converts rotary motion to two alternating up/down rod shafts that work the cream. Two smaller rods rise from the front corners as support rods to the rear pair. On the left is a small pulley wheel and on the right is a mounting plate upon which an electric motor was mounted. A 6 gallon ceramic crock sits on the platform under the central wheel. Provenance: Our vendor has had a long fascination with kitchenalia, collecting many items while resident in America and researching his sub collections thoroughly. Returning to New Zealand some years ago his collection has grown further. Now it is time to sell
