Antique Butter Churn ca 1850's

About a month ago I visited the rennovated Lincoln- Manahan here in my home town.
Abraham Lincoln spent the night there when he came to Sterling in 1856. This churn is in the kitchen of the house- note the crock jug too!
This is a crank style churn - not a dasher type

  1. How beautiful.
    Lincoln slept in many places...he slept at the Lincoln/Tallman house in Janesville, WI too...that man got around.
    Thanks for sharing this gorgeous treasure.
