My grandmother’s butter churns sits here in my living room along with her butter firkin. How I loved to go next door when grammy was making butter and turn the crank. (mine is the round churn with revolving paddles). Gram used to store her dried apples in her butter firkin. Even today 50+ years later, if I take the cover off, I can smell the apples.

I am so glad you still have it.

Memories are wonderful, when they are of our loved ones.

As a kid, if we made butter, it was shaking a jar.

LOL, as a young wife, I made it a couple times by not watching the mixer, while beating cream for whipped cream.
