ANTIQUE DAZEY BUTTER CHURN

Antique Dazey Butter Churn – A Classic Piece of American Dairy History

This remarkable Antique Dazey Butter Churn is an outstanding example of early American dairy equipment. Manufactured by the Dazey Churn & Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, Missouri, this hand-cranked butter churn was a staple in farmhouses and small dairies during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With its sturdy blue metal body, wooden lid, and cast iron gear mechanism, this churn showcases both functionality and rustic charm. A true collectible, this piece is perfect for vintage kitchen décor, historical displays, or a farmhouse-inspired collection.

Authentic Hand-Cranked Churning Mechanism – The churn operates using a large cast iron crank wheel with a wooden handle, connected to an internal wooden paddle system. When turned, the paddles agitate the cream, transforming it into butter through traditional churning techniques.

Durable Blue Metal Body with Vintage Patina – The churn's rectangular metal container is painted in a classic blue hue, with natural aging and wear that enhance its antique appeal. The original Dazey Churn logo is still visible on the front, though faded with time.

Wooden Lid with Split-Panel Design – The top of the churn features a two-piece wooden lid, secured with metal fasteners. This lid allows easy access to the interior while maintaining the traditional appearance of early butter churns.

Cast Iron Gear System for Smooth Operation – The cast iron gear system includes a large cogwheel and secondary gears, ensuring efficient churning action. Marked "PATENTED", these gears demonstrate the high-quality craftsmanship of the era.

Functional Drain Spigot for Buttermilk Removal – A small metal spigot at the bottom front of the churn was designed for draining excess buttermilk after the churning process, an essential feature for efficient butter production.

Sturdy Base with Wooden Supports – The churn stands securely on a cast iron frame, reinforced with wooden stabilizers on either side. These additions provide extra support and balance, ensuring the churn remains steady during use.
