Knocker churn

Harte, M.

Knocker or plunger churn. The earliest type of churn in the form of sycamore barrel, tapering from the base to the mouth with a plunger shaft which fits through a hole in the lid. The plunger with a long wooden handle terminating with a perforated disk would be worked up and down and rotated to churn the butter. This type of churn was common from the 1600s into the late 1800s.
