Antique Primitive Brass Banded Wooden Butter Churn

Description: This butter churn was proudly displayed in the formal dining room. Beautiful rich tones and complete 4 brass bands with patina. This was mom's chore as a child, so she was particularly fond of this piece, and it was well cared for. Handle measures 34 1/2" with paddle at almost 6", churn base is 18" tall, 8" across top, and 10" across bottom. The top has been cracked through and repaired see pics. The bottom is unattached and has cracks see pics. The churn base is in relatively good condition there is the deep scratches noted in pics with toothpick for sizing, the bottom band has the slightest movement where the brass nails are maybe shrinkage, but is not loose, all other bands seem tight. There is some shrinkage of wood they are not cracks but separate slats because they're straight, but you can feel them very slightly in just a couple spots. All repairs done are old repairs, we've had this for about 60 years and never repaired it. When put together on display you really don't notice the flaws, and they are a testament to this being a working piece. *******SHIPPING****** BUYER PAYS FLAT RATE $85.00 I have calculated for 2 packages to the Contiguous US. Due to the handle length, it is cheaper to do two separate packages. I apologize, but I can not ship to Hawaii, Alaska, or International on this item. SHIPPING ONLY to the Contiguous US. Larger items may take up to 7 business days to deliver to carrier due to custom packaging and extra care. Free local pick up. Reserve the right to change the shipping carrier. I want to let everyone know I appreciate your looking at my items. I am not an expert but have grown up since a very young age around flea markets antique stores and such. We worked flea markets from Michigan to Ohio to Shipshewana. And antique stores from Michigan to Florida. 99% of the items I'm selling are from my family's private collection of over 60 years or my father's used book and record store. I will always try to give accurate descriptions with as much detail as I can see, but my eyes are a little old and tired now. If at any time I miss a flaw please let me know so I can correct the mistake. I ship with great care and proper insurance. Also of note if the shipping cost is grossly inflated I do refund the buyer handling charges are extremely low. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the items as much as we have.
