19th Cenutry Butter Mould and Stamp

A butter mould is a tool used to form butter into shapes, while a butter stamp is used to mark the butter with a design. In many instances they were combined in the same device. Butter moulds and stamps were introduced to North America by European settlers who brought the tools and techniques from their homelands. <br><br> This particular mould is Canadian-made from maple wood and metal fittings. The design on the stamp consists of the letters SRL (possibly the initials of the butter maker) with stars on both sides surrounded by vertical and horizontal lines. <br><br> Note: The model is meant to be viewed in a virtual environment using computer software. You can try printing it off, though we cannot guarantee the quality.
