--- I assume this is a Robert Welch pepper mill, it has some differences to most of the ones I've seen, it does not have the letter "P" molded into the top lever spindle, also the bottom is wood, the wood itself has ...some dings and dents on the bottom with a few natural cracks/dings from use (most of the ones I've see are cast iron on the bottom but I found a few with this type of wood base). That said, it is sold as shown. I noted that the top crank handle is tilted a little to one side but looking at photos of numerous other examples it seems that is how this is designed (the crank turns freely counterclockwise and grinds the peppercorns when turned clockwise). There is the number "2" on the side. I can't make out the text stamped into the very bottom spindle plate, in my embedded photos I took a series of shots showing that plate turned in increments so you can maybe make it out yourself. I don't know the past history or usage, this came from a local estate. When I cranked the handle it did produce some very coarse ground peppercorns (see photos). Shining a flashlight down inside it appears empty at this point, the grinding discs look good, the interior walls are dusty with peppercorn residue etc but I don't see rust. I don't know how this would be taken apart, I don't want to try myself. The top stopper is rubber. Stands 5.5" tall including the height of the wood ball on the crank handle. Diameter at the base is 2-7/8". Weighs about 1-3/4 lbs (has a nice hefty feel for the size).
