Overview

Dalla No 0 5 Liter butter churn with an iron base, metal bowl and metal lid. The 5 litre bowl sits above a vertical iron gear system that is operated by an iron crank with a turned wooden handle. The iron base has 2 feet which can be attached to a flat surface with 4 screws. One bowl has been painted silver and the other bowl black.
