DOBSON BARREL BUTTER CHURN
"DOBSON FAVORITE SPECIAL"
1901
Mfg. by: Dobson Mfg. Co. Rockford. Ill.
The key difference in this one is the
""FAVORITE SPECIAL""
Patent #684-566   Oct. 15, 1901
A very, very rare barrel churn Mfg. by Dobson Mfg.
You may never see another one with the HOOP churning method.
You may never have another
opportunity
to buy one of these
operating with the HOOP.
When I bought this one several years ago, I found it to be different than
all the barrel churns operating with a hand crank.  A lot of research and finally
going to our local library for help, a great lady found the patent for me after much time.
Not seen in churn images on the internet.
I have pictured 2 pages of the patent to save you much fruitless time
spent in your research.  Also an explanation of the
"SPECIAL"
churn.
Condition is great and works extremely well.
Does have human scares of
old age and
usage as the pictures show very well.
Weight  not known   Barrel only  18" Tall   18" Dia.
In upright position height up to top of barrel hold down bolt 34"
Pictures show exactly what you will receive.
