Various identifying marks are faded out but from its physical design we deduce this to be a Charles Parker Co. An ornately decorated cast iron crank and rotating semicircular door is screwed to the wooden base. A dovetailed miniature drawer sits on bottom to collect the freshly ground coffee beans. Measures 11" High (to top of crank) x 9" Wide x 6 Deep. Gears are a bit stiff but the crank turns.
Good wear and patina on the iron. One small crack present on the top and a few small cracks throughout other areas which is usually common to pieces this old. Weighs 3 pounds 3 ounces (1.44 kilogram).
