Antique Dazey Butter Churn No 40 Glass Jar 40B Cast Iron Hand Crank Patented 1922

Up for sale/auction is an absolute holy grail of primitive American kitchenalia: an 100% All-Original Antique Dazey No. 40 Glass Hand-Crank Butter Churn with 40B Cast Iron Top.

This is a museum-grade, textbook-perfect specimen for serious collectors. Unlike many pieced-together marriages found on the market, this unit is a fully matching factory original. The front panel of the heavy, square, pressed-glass jar proudly displays the clear embossed text: "DAZEY CHURN No.40 PATENTED FEB 14 22 DAZEY CHURN & MFG CO ST LOUIS MO MADE IN USA".

The top features the legendary heavy-duty DAZEY 40B cast-iron gear mechanism. Remarkably, the hand-crank functions beautifully, turning the gears and the large four-bladed wooden paddle inside flawlessly and smoothly with zero catching or resistance. Complete with its original aged wooden handle knob and interior splash screen mesh, this 4-quart masterpiece perfectly encapsulates the durable rustic elegance of early 20th-century American homesteading.
