a butter churn handle
By: newson.pat Submitted on: 08/12/2015 at 03:52PMReason: I can't seem to find a comparable butter churn handle. Could you show a comparable model or another reference to verify what it is?
This item is an early manual washing machine handle. Some were made by American Machine company in the 1920-30's. This specific handle was set for 60 revolutions per minute based on the embossing . Most machines came with two-three different handles for different types of laundry being done. 30 RPM handles were shorter while the standard handles was the 60 RPM handle you current have. Hope that helps you out.
