Vintage 4-Quart Glass Butter Churn with Hand-Crank Gear — FC Marked

A vintage 4-quart glass butter churn featuring a metal hand-crank gear mechanism and wooden paddles. The jar is made of thick, heavy glass and has "4 QT" embossed on the side. The crank turns smoothly, and the internal paddles rotate properly.

The metal frame includes an octagonal "FC" mark , a style consistent with mid-20th-century American hardware manufacturers. Based on construction methods, materials, and design, this piece is best classified as an authentic early-mid 20th-century U.S.-made churn , not a modern reproduction.

Condition

• Gear mechanism turns properly; typical age wear on metal

• Wooden paddles intact and functioning

• Light rust and oxidation on metal surfaces from age

• Glass jar has no cracks — the line on the bottom is a manufacturing mold mark , not damage

• Minor scratches and surface wear consistent with vintage use
