Wooden paddle shaped implement with a grooved surface and a long handle used to beat butter into shape in Sainsbury's counter service shops. There is an inscription on the handle, 'J. SAINSBURY BLACKFRIARS'. Would have been one of a pair or used in conjunction with a butter slice to cut sections off a large block of butter. A pre-existing reference number is written in black ink on one side of the beater.
