I doubt my great aunt was rolling in dough (pardon the pun), she did do
a lot of baking. I remember her cast iron wood stove. It had a built
in "bun warmer" just above the cooktop. There was also a 'well' for hot
water. I suppose it was considered being "pampered" in the early 1900's
to have such modern conveniences. Heh.

Butter warmers? Ca canny wi' the butter! (a little joke)

I just don't think all that technology is required for having butter.
I've frozen it, refrigerated it, used a butter bell with cold water.
And just left it sitting in a bowl (covered) on the counter.
