Saddler's bench

Saddler's bench with clamp to hold harness while making or repairing. The foot pedal freed the saddler's hands to work on the harness. Found by Charles Brown in his barn (no longer extant, but located in the triangle of land behind the Warwick General Store). Given by him to Fred Lincoln who refurbished it. Fred's daughter gave it to the Society in 2012.

Butter maker. When the butter comes from the churn it is in clumps, laced with milk. A small amount of butter would be handled with paddles and larger amounts were worked with this "gadget."
