Rectangular Butter Mould
do you know what this is?  -  answer

This is a butter mould or butter box for making rectangular blocks of butter.
The picture at left shows the bottom of the butter mould.  The rectangular piece in the centre is connected to the handle you saw in the picture higher up on this page.  When you push the handle down, it pushes the butter out of the mould.  Usually the moulds were made to hold exactly one pound of butter.
Round Butter Mould pre 1955 This is a round butter mould.  The piece that pushes out the butter is carved to leave a pattern in the butter.  This made the butter look nice sitting on the table.  It also identified the maker of the butter.
