This cream separator is located in a small exhibit on Kansas home life in the 1900s-1920s at the Atchison Depot Museum, in downtown Atchison KS.

Ax examination of the cream separator did not yield the name of a manufacturer, but we did discover that this model could be cranked at 48 RPM to spin out the cream.

An internet search told us this is a McCormick-Deering 3 speed Cream Separator that can be operated by hand crank or by electricity: (visit link)

A card on the separator notes that it was donated by Raymond and Lola Mae Scherer.
