Antique Large Coffee Grinder Dovetailed Wood Patented 1917

Coffee mills are also called coffee grinders, although there is a difference in the way each grinds the coffee. Large floor-standing or counter-model coffee mills were used in the nineteenth-century country store. Small home mills were first made about 1894. They lost favor by the 1930s. The one-wheel store model was patented in 1870 and the two-wheel model was made in 1873. Coffee grinders are finding new interest today.

This is an original turn of the century coffee grinder. The newest handle has a patient date of 1917 – see photos. Very nice vintage condition. It does work but should be cleaned before using.
