Got this device at an auction recently. Can't find anything like it anywhere. Hoping it's something weird. Someone thought it was an artificial insemination device. It is stamped Pat.Jan.2.1912

Cream Dipper
Milk at the present time is usually sold in bottles and my invention relates to a dipper adapted to skim the cream from the surface of the milk before the milk has been decanted. For this purpose my dipper 15 provided with a conical bottom which is separable downward from the cylindrical body of the dipper so that when the dipper is lowered into the bottle the point. at the bottom of the dipper will enter the, cream first and push it aside so that itwill not be mixedbwith the milk to any appreciable extent. The bottom of the dipper, being sqmrable from the body or cylindrical portion of the dipper, will displace a comparatively small portion of the contents of the bottle. allowing the cream to flow freely up ii.to the cylinder against which the bottom is adapted to close. The bottom may then be closed against the cylinder and the full dipper lifted from the bottle. The means t hereby the bottom of the dipper is supported and operated are such as to leave the interior of the cylinder free from surfaces adapted to collect the cream and hence become foul unless extra care is taken in cleaning them, and at the same time the bottom can be closed tight against the bottom of the cylinder so that there is no danger of leakage in transferring the cream from the bottle to a. cup or other receptacle.
Thank you for for replying! That sounds logical. I was hoping for something odd. Do you have any photos or anything to show it's use?
Bruce I simply did a Google search for U.S. Patent January 2 1912
and it came up with a sketch and all of the patent information.
If you search it, also use the Cream Dipper with the date.
Best wishes,
Gary
