Badge, Warrnambool Butter
These discs come from the Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory at Allansford and promote the butter manufacture. The Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory was established in 1888 and was one of the first co-operative butter factories in Victoria. Cheese making started at the factory in 1892, with the Kraft Food Company leasing the factory in the 1930s and continuing for many years to operate the cheese production area. These discs are of some interest as ones used by a premier factory in the Warrnambool district. Dairying in the Warrnambool district is of major significance.These metal discs, four in number, are in the shape of a shield and have gold, brown and green enamelling on the front. There is an image of a cow with a boomerang shape underneath. The discs would be used for packaging and promotional material and are intended to be glued on to the material. ‘Warrnambool Butter, Allansford’warrnambool cheese and butter factory, allansford -

(Kew Conservation Study, 1988)Colour photographic positive of one of 'Prague House'.
