Lot 579:
Description
8x7x7 This antique manual box coffee or spice grinder features a square-shaped wooden body with a dark-finished exterior. The top is fitted with a cast iron hand crank assembly topped with a turned wooden knob. A pull-out drawer located at the base is designed to collect the ground contents, featuring a wooden front and an interior lining of aged galvanized metal. The overall form is characteristic of late 19th to early 20th-century American table-mounted coffee mills. No manufacturer labels, patent dates, or hallmarks are visible on the exterior surfaces shown. A white string tag with the handwritten number 579 is attached to the crank arm.
