This is another example of an apple butter stirrer. It's handle is only three and one half feet long, and the head only bears a single hole. It might have been used by a single family who possessed a small kettle. It might also have been used inside a house, stirring the apples in a kettle suspended over the fire in an open hearth. This apple butter stirrer was handed down through the Smith family and was the first one of which I came into possession. |
