1 pound Butter = 4 sticks
1 stick Butter = 1/4 pound = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 4 oz = 115 g

1 (450 g) pound Butter = 2 cups
1 oz Butter = 30 g = 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon of butter = 1/2 oz = 15 g
A thingy of Butter is, at best, an inaccurate measurement that really means a "dollop". While certainly, some people maintain that a "thingy" is around 2 tablespoons, there are as many folks that maintain that the closest measurement to a "thingy" is about 2 tsps.
Another definition for "thingy" of butter is the amount of butter you get when you slice the corner of a block of butter to form an isosceles of Butter that needed to be preserved for a longer time. Salting the Butter well was a way of doing this. Even though the milk surplus days are over, the Welsh still retain a taste for salty Butter.

The first commercial creamery in America to make Butter started business in Iowa in 1871.

The American Congress decreed in 1923 that American Butter must have a minimum 80% butterfat in it; that law remains unchanged today.

A firkin of butter was 54 pounds (24 1/2 kg) in weight.

.........you missed out a muscle of butter - when some of us took a pint of full cream milk, shook it into the heavens, passed it through a leg of a pair of tights to get the cream, shook it again then added pinch of salt!

But at least we tried  ;D
