Problem is, many things are from before my grandparents time [ie from the 1800s] such as the foot warmer while others such as the public payphone or the answering phone are totally different from those I knew/know and used/use [and yes, public phones are coming back here in Ireland at last, but now they do more than just make phone calls]. And those I do know you give different names to eg: the chip maker you call a french fry maker, the laundry paddle looks more like the butter paddle. Strange to see how things differ between countries and hopefully someone from the US got more answers right than I did.

I hated the tanned colored paper from the grade school, you never could completely erase a pencil error, it smudged instead ! And why was it called 'scratch paper?' Another hate on my list was paying .10c for dessert @ lunch after you picked up that school lunch card from the place we dreaded: The Principal's office. How many people walked out of that place with red eyes ? 😂

It's a butter paddle. We presume for "washing" butter. I'm guessing it's less for washing and more for squeezing water and air bubbles out of the butter brick.

@@MelissaThompson432 I've seen someone make butter and use one of these in Ireland in the 1960s. The butter paddle seemed like it was for shaping the butter into a small brick shape. By the time butter is made, in the butter churn, it's a regular consistency but lacks shape.
