This is a #3 butter churn crock I picked up at a flea mkt. last weekend. I collect NRA (National Recovery Act) items but have never seen one of these. Can someone tell me the maker, and possible value? Thanks
It says NRA member "we do our part"
13 inches by 10 inches, approx.
I posted an NRA logo for comparison.
Gotwire, I have seen a couple of these but they were larger and didn't have the rim along the top. Is there a any stamp on the bottom?
There are no other stamps/embossing's on it that I can find. The people I got it from had it in the family since the 30's, and said they may still have the churn dash somewhere. " I hope!!"
