This is a three-legged Union butter churner. It was in one of the small homes in Bannack. If you can zoom in, you'll be able to read whats printed on that. In the back of this Churn is a wheel, that looks much like a steering wheel of a car, and that is what would move the burn back and forth, so it would turn the milk into butter.Anytime you would like to comment, that's great, but feel free not to have to comment. I don't mind either way, altho I do appreciate the input.I just like to know you all are enjoying these photos of the various things in the ghost town of Bannack, Mt. Thanx so much for being here.

Yes, I enjoy your pictures very much, both nature and ghost town series! This one makes me think again of the backbreaking work of our foremothers. Good picture, and well framed!

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
Interesting old relic of the past Verena. I sure don't long for those good old days...I'm a modern girl and it's much easier to buy butter at the store.

Enjoy nature, Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints
Nice capture and old time feel to it Miss V. Great find. I have my step-Mom's Mother's old churn and it is the classic churn style with the plunger you have to pull up and down. Now that is hard work.

Nice work with this again Lady V. :o) I actually had the opportunity to help make some butter with one of these once. Would not want to do it all the time but it was fun to do it once with others.

Really like your antique looking series Verena. This is a remarkable chur, I've never seen one that big. Sure looks like a lot of work churning butter, wow.

Neat shot of this old churn. I like the frames you have been putting around this series of pictures. Terrific.

Could read, even without spectacles (lol), the text on the butter churn. Very interesting Verena. Thought however that here was only a three legged man, lol again.
Fine post in a fine series.
