Thanks again,

Hmm.... good question. I thought it might be a covered cheese plate, but the Mason Vista pattern covered cheese plate is wedge shaped. I'm not sure what this one is- Anyone else out there know?

The dairy used to deliver the milk and butter.  Actually used waxed cardboard!

The sound of the milk box on the front porch slamming shut would wake me up before sunrise!

The sound of the source of the original 'Pogs" !

We used to make flying saucers out of the caps from milk jugs .

I do remember milk delivery, but milk was all we ordered as I remember. I don't remember getting anything like butter or cheese when I was little. This would have been the early sixties, so it was on it's way out. I just remember the glass bottles and the wire carrier that they came in and leaving them out on the porch.

I did actually make my own butter once, you can actually do it in a glass jar with a whole lot of shaking, instead of using a butter churn. It comes out pretty darn good too! Sweeter than store-bought butter. Just put heavy whipping cream and a few shakes of salt into a jar and then shake the heck out of it. After a while, the liquid solidifies and wah-lah!! Butter!! I was actually thinking it would be fun to have a usable butter churn.
