Pr. Wooden Scotch Hands Butter Workers

Price: 40

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

A pair of wooden “Scotch Hands” or Butter Workers for your country kitchen. Scotch Hands were used to press the liquid (buttermilk) out of churned butter and then to shape the butter for storage. One side is grooved (so the liquid can flow away) and the other side is smooth for shaping the butter. This pair is 9” long and 2 5/8” wide. Very fine condition with no splits or cracks, nice color and a nice soft surface. Hard to know how old they are, but most likely before 1900.
