Vintage Vintage surge milker made of stainless steel. This surge milker was made by Babson Brothers and was part of an automatic milking system - the handle was used to carry the milk but also to hang it below the cow. The oval-shaped logo appears on one side and says "The Surge Milker Babson Bros. Co.", it has an amazing vintage look. The milker can be used as a planter - the stainless steel still has a nice shine to it, and it won't rust when kept outdoors! The milker measures 11 1/4 inches tall to the top of the handle. It is 15 inches across at the bottom. The milker has scratches and scuffs, dents and dings on all sides. The milker has a rounded bottom so when you place it on a flat surface, it wobbles - around the bottom, there is a ring of grey that I think may have been an adhesive to attach a piece of the bottom (now missing)- maybe this was what kept it from wobbling? If you place the milker in a garden bed or the ground, the wobbling shouldn't be a problem. You could also place something thin under the sides to keep it still if you wanted to place it on a porch or patio. Let me know if you have questions - thank
