English: Oak barrel, pine stand, steel parts on barrel, and removable wheels to facilitate rotation of barrel. Barrel has detachable cover, rubber seals and steel securing clamps; cover incorporates a copper pressure release valve, and a glass peephole with a copper retainer. A removable wooden stopper (plug) seals the drain hole during operation, and is inserted into a hole located on the front of the stand for safekeeping while the buttermilk (the natural byproduct after butter-making) is drained from the barrel into a separate container. A shelf at the base of the stand supports the container - usually a bucket - for the buttermilk, which may subsequently be consumed as a nutritious drink. This churn was used on a family farm in Noordhoek, south of Cape Town, South Africa, in the early 1900's. Country of origin: unknown, probably England.
