Maybe the wooden. But I'll keep the glass one for sure.

It's been a long time since I have seen a butter mold. I have a clear butter dish(antique) that I use for a candy dish and your mold would work perfectly for my butter dish. You did good.

Lucky you. I have one of my grandmothers and a square one and a churn of my grandmothers. Back in the 80's we bought milk from friends, and I made butter. ummmmm good.

LOL! I had to check out your location to see if you lived near me. That is all that seems to show up at garage sales around here too.

These are all very nice. The one on the right appears to be the eldest. The glass one is great. All of us who have had cows and made butter will smile. Making butter is a little time consuming. Be sure the cream is very cold and you can make it quickly with your electric mixer. A stand mixer works best as it takes a few minutes. When the cream coagulates, pour off the buttermilk and work the butter together. Rinse with ice water. When all traces of the buttermilk are gone, press it into the one of your choice and refrigerate. The butter can then be pressed out without warping when it is cold. It is great for family gatherings and holidays. Your friends will be asking for it. Oh yes, try to find local milk, as storebought cream is a little pricey.
