Antique Cast Iron Coffee Grinder, Dovetailed Wooden Base, Coffee MILL

A NTIQUE CAST IRON COFFEE GRINDER, DOVETAILED WOODEN BASE. COFFEE MILL, MANUAL COFFEE GRINDER. That only comes with age.

This is an antique cast iron coffee grinder is in good working condition, as the single handle turns. The small front door opens easily for the bean grounds to fall into. The grinder needs a good cleaning to make it food safe.

This coffee bean grinder is in good condition generally but the grinding mechanism will need to be thoroughly cleaned-restored if someone want to use it as a grinder. The blades are in very good condition. I did lightly dust and cleaned but not deep cleaned. With cleaning or restoration this will look amazing.

Shows wear consistent with age, no cracks in cast iron, and no age splits in wood. Height (to top of handle) : 9-1/2. Approx Wood Base: 7-1/2" x 7".

This piece is in great shape for its age with typical signs of wear and use. This would make a great addition to any antique kitchen collection. Lovely farm house decoration, the perfect size for display on kitchen counters, or for a table top coffee maker for a country store display. In the 1800's mercantile stores displayed these coffee bean grinding mill on their store counters and would grind their customers coffee beans after purchasing.
