<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 90218, member: 44&quot;]Yes, a butter mold. Following is a link to antique butter molds. One similar to yours, but bigger, is about 1/3rd of the way down the page - the 6th picture. Under the picture are 3 paragraphs about that type of mold and how they worked. It says it was presumably advertised in 1884 and first advertised in the 1870s.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The butter mold pictured above was advertised as Kinerson&#039;s Combination Butter Print.&nbsp; These were advertised around 1885 and manufactured by James Kinerson of Peacham, Vermont.&nbsp; In that advertisement Kinerson claims they have been used for 9 years, dating these prints to about 1874. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://dairyantiques.com/Butter_Molds.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dairyantiques.com/Butter_Molds.html" rel="nofollow">http://dairyantiques.com/Butter_Molds.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>One the same page the 9th pic down is identical to my my great grandmother&#039;s butter mold that I have. It is a very interesting website on antique dairy stuff and such.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
