St Paul steam all ready beat me to this unusual farm implement, however I may have found a unique variation!
  The first photo is the stock Delaval cream separator cast Ertl display model, St Paul steam powered this one perfectly.
  Second photo is a real one.
Third photo with cats....it seems ertl partner with a artist known for vintage farm art and did work with foxfire...he produced this figurine...I passed it by thinking it was cast resin and not suitable for our hobby, but was curious it was about same size as the diecast Ertl model....then found a listing where the seller describes the figurine in detail and comment it was made from mixed materials including diecast! So for cost savings they took the metal model and added resin painted cats and faux milk...the big shiny bowl appears more highly polish on the art version...I can't help but think this art model would cause some smiles at a steam show if I can convert (modify) it
For steam power.
