19th Century Cream Skimmer Bags Of Character

A well detailed 19th century Brass Cream Skimmer. So much Character with this one. It has had a couple of repairs in its life. Can you imagine the old farmer with four or five cows, a small holding with four or five acres. Not much spare cash and one of the cows stands on the skimmer. The cow gets a wack because he cannot afford a new one and maybe there is not one available at short notice. He roots about in the shed and find a bit of brass and goes off to his pal the blacksmith. The skimmer is heated up and then they solder the pieces back together.After a bit of filing down, he can now skim that nice rich cream off the milk before it goes into the churn. All that for only £35.00. We can package and post for about £10 if requiredDescription

21 1/2 ins long, skimmer is just under 8 ins in diameterDimensions
