Another of Johnny’s old treasures that he passed on to me…
Written in my mother-in-law’s hand…
“Grandma Arnold’s butter mold”
How many times did she use this wooden mold, I wonder?
Also in the collection… a butter paddle for working the last of the buttermilk out of the butter.
I need to get some fresh cream from the neighbors!
Find me here!
I used to make the butter a lot as a kid. I miss both making it and eating homemade butter. I’ve never seen a butter mold though, and didn’t realize that was a butter paddle.
Wow!! What a treasure. Good luck with the butter making.
The butter mold is such an interesting item… I’ve never seen one before!
Those are treasures for you (and for history)! Love it.
Anew and wonderful hobby for you.
Priceless treasures! last weekend I found an old toy wagon at an antique store, missing the team of horses & the little man that sits on the wagon seat, we had a toy like this back in the 50’s & who knows where mom & dad got it, my oldest brother, age 77 remembers playing with it- now I’m on the look out for the missing pieces, also no one remembers where ours went-
