It has it's original finish and about 50% of it's original label. The side panels have a couple of splits in the wood from age but they are stable and in no danger of breaking and there is a slight separation between the back panel and the base plate. This mill was thoroughly cleaned and is ready to use. Wrightsville Hardware Co. continued to produce this mill after they purchased L&S around 1906. Item No. 3645 |

Parker Victor No. 541 Rapid Grinding One Pound Coffee Grinder or Mill |
This is a Parker Victor No. 541 Rapid Grinding One Pound Coffee Grinder
manufactured by the Charles Parker Co. in Meriden Connecticut. This mill
features an unusual hinged door with a tab at the bottom that helps to
pull out the cup that catches the ground coffee. The original cup
on this one was replaced somewhere along the line with a newer aluminum
replacement, but it does the job. The top originally had a thin brass
"wash" finish which had worn off and been replaced by many years worth
of kitchen grease and grime by the time I got it so the top along with
all other cast parts were wire brushed to a high sheen and it is ready
to be used. This mill has an unusual cast "cage" assembly that is
suspended inside the grinder from the top to hold the beans above the
grinding cones. The wood features dovetail construction and has
some slight wear to the base plate but is in overall good condition and
still retains it's original finish. The dark spot 3/4 of the way up on
the front left is all that remains of the original label.

Logan and Strogridge Brighton No. 1 Coffee Grinder or Mill |
This Logan and Strobridge mill was manufactured in New
Brighton Pennsylvania right around 1900 give or take about 10 years
either way. It has it's original label
that is only missing a few small pieces and a handle that is embossed
with "Brighton". It has an open hopper with a
japanned finish and a
wing nut at the top to adjust the grind. The original finish is still in
very good condition with a few minor scrapes and small paint specks. It
has been thoroughly cleaned and tested and is ready to use.

Arcade King Coffee Grinder or Mill No. 630 |
This is one of two styles of King coffee mills manufactured by Arcade. The other style was a No. 930 and had the hopper fastened to a metal rather than a wooden top. I removed all the interior grinding parts on this mill and wire brushed them to bare metal. The wood has a couple of splits on the top under the handle and another split on the opposite side. These were repaired long ago and they are still stable so I left them as is. I ran some beans thought to test this mill and was quite surprised at how finely this would grind. Wooden box mills can vary greatly on how fine a grind they will produce and since most coffee was simply boiled in a pot when this mill was made the degree of fineness wasn't nearly as important as it is today.

Parker 400 Coffee Grinder or Mill |
This is a Parker 400 series coffee grinder manufactured in Meriden Ct. right around 1900. It features a cast iron top with swivel door for loading the coffee. This mill has a tin or stamped steel cover which still shows some of the original bronze finish. This mill grinds very coarsely and I suspect that it is due to the handle having worn down through the years. It has some old repairs on the front and back of the base that were well done and are still stable. Item No. 3148 |
