    Description

    N.B. Please note that this a tiny item.  The pencil is an ordinary one.
    A wonderful rare working butter churn or kitchen mixer made by the high quality German toymaker Bodo Hennig.  These have been discontinued for quite a while as the company was bought out and most of the items are no longer made.  The handle turns the gears and the beaters follow suit.  There is even a tiny rubber gasket to seal the top to the glass jar, and it is a nice snug fit.  Unfortunately eBay doesn't allow videos so I have tried to take photos with the handle in different positions so that you can see that it and the paddles move.  If you are on Instagram, I will be putting a short video there, wendysminis.
    From what I can gather the red churns are the most easily found, followed by the blue, and the green ones with a square rather than round glass jar may be the rarest.
    The only flaws that I can find are that there is a slight amount of paint loss on the end of the handle, which you can see in some of the photos if you look closely.  Also there is a small orangey patch on the underside of the top of what I suspect to be old adhesive, probably to ensure that the two parts stayed together.  I have not tried to remove it.  There are no chips to the glass.
    I believe that technically this is 1:10 scale but it will suit a 1:12 scale setting too.
    Jar is 13/16 inch (2.0 cm) in diameter.  The maximum width with the handle is 1 1/4 inches (3.2 cm), 1 3/4 inches (4.4 cm) tall.  ETS1

    Multiple purchases
    If you are bidding on items that finish on different days, please contact me and let me know; don't pay for each item separately (it messes up combining shipping).  I am very happy to wait for payment until you have done shopping (over a reasonable period of time) in order to save on the shipping.  I will then send you one invoice reflecting the combined shipping and packaging for all your successful bids when you tell me you are done bidding or request an invoice.  Once you pay for an item I have to ship that item within two days of receiving payment or I get penalized by eBay.
    Guarantee
    If you are not totally satisfied with your purchase then you may return it to me undamaged for a refund of your purchase price, cheerfully given (buyer normally pays return postage).  Please contact me directly first if you have any concerns, within two weeks of your receipt of the goods.
    Shipping - USA
    I will use First Class Mail with tracking for .50 unless you request and pay for Priority.  Multiple purchases  will receive a discount on shipping and handling.
    Shipping - International
    I welcome international bidders but unfortunately it now costs .00 to mail a basic padded envelope containing a protectively boxed miniature.  I can usually ship a couple of items together for this same price.
    Your country's import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. These charges are normally collected by the delivering shipping company or when you pick the item up; do not confuse them with additional shipping charges.  Please check with your country's customs office to  determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.  I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts".
