This Vega Cream Separator was made in Sweden and sold by the T. Eaton Department Store of Canada. This is actually an usual cream separator as it has a holding tank rather than mounted on a more typical iron stand. It has a large hopper on top with two spigots.
Interestingly, the town of Vega, Alberta was name after this Swedish made cream separator. The Vega brand appeared in the T. Eaton catalog during the early 1930's.
