Vintage Dazey 4 Quart Butter Churn #40 Pat. 2/14/22

Description: Vintage Dazey 4-Quart Butter Churn #40 Patent date Feb. 14, 1922. All Original. A really nice all original Dazey Butter Burn No. 40. Age is unknown, I only know it was made after the patent date of February 4, 1922. It could have been made anytime during the 1920s, 30s, or 40s. An expert might be able to narrow down the date based on the markings, but I'm no expert. It any experts want to correct me on anything I say, I would welcome your comments.Here is everything I know about this churnThe jar and churn mechanism (lid) did not originally come together. They were acquired separately.The jar is square slope shouldered.The jar is marked with raised embossed markings on one side with "DAZEY CHURN No. 40 - PATENTED FEB.14.22 - DAZEY CHURN & MFG. CO. - ST. LOUIS, MO. - MADE IN U.S.A." The top line "DAZEY CHURN" is arched. All the other text is horizontal.The opposite back side of the jar has no markings. This is where a paper label would have been.The bottom of the jar has no markings other than a circular mold mark in the center. The edges of the bottom are significantly worn down, suggesting this is an old jar.The jar has a few small chips at the top edge. They are not visible when the lid is on. See photos.The lid is a shiny white metal with no rust (I don't know if this is aluminum or stainless steel, or some alloy).The lid has the removable filter screen in place with the wire spring holder. It is removed easily.The churn handle mechanism is cast iron and is riveted to the lid in three places with steel rivets (I checked with a magnet). The cast iron has a really nice patina on it. There is nearly no rust and no paint.The churn handle is a D-shape with the grip on one side and the crank handle on the other side.The main frame of the churn mechanism is marked with the word "DAZEY" on the top on both sides, a daisy flower in the middle on both sides, and "34B" where the crank shaft enters the main frame.The crank handle is marked "-30-40 H" (I assume this means it was interchangeable with the No. 30 and No. 40?).The wood handle on the crank appears original and is in very good condition.The large vertical gear is marked "34C" and is held onto the crank shaft by a square headed set screw.There is a small oil hole in the main frame where the crank shaft is.The paddle shaft is steel. The wood paddle has two paddles and is in very good condition. The wood paddle is held in place with a steel pin.In 1922, Nathan Dazey patented a removable strainer screen in the screw-cap top of his glass churns. A 1922 ad claimed that the screen “enables the operator to make and wash the butter free of milk right in the churn without once removing the dasher.” Explaining the process, the ad continued: “Simply pour in the milk and churn. Then drain off milk thru strainer, lift off strainer and pour in water thru opening. After washing butter, the water is then drained off thru strainer, and butter is ready to salt.” This churn is in excellent condition. Please see the description above and the photos. It would make a great display piece or useable to make your own butter.
