Butter Churn....how many did they produce????

[MaytagRepairMan]

Found this ad on Ebay...but never paid much attention till today when I see it on Stak....so I clicked on it and read the whole ad....Now my question is "How many Butter Churns did Maytag Sell? I know that this item and the meat grinder were added features, but I am sure they sold more then 2400 of these....I have had 4 of them...and still have two of the best out of the 4....and they are both diffrent....and I have seen a third version one that has splines that worked on the later washers....

Photo 1 is the Ebay....missing the stopping arm.

Photo 2 is my display at Baraboo this past Aug.

THE MAYTAG BUTTER CHURN
The Maytag butter churn was designed to replace the agitator in the aluminum square tub washers. The construction of the butter churn was also aluminum. All you had to do was remove the agitator and install the the butter churn over the agitator post. Next you would pour in the cream and start your washer. Engage the handle on the side of the square tub and the paddle inside the churn would start. It was a great feature when you consider that most of the butter making was done by hand in those days.
