ANTIQUE COLES 2-WHEEL COFFEE GRINDER MILL WORKS GREAT. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
A similar one appears in the book:“Antique Coffee Grinders”(by Michael L. White and Judith A. Sivonda) for $1500 but I am listing my mill for much less since it has the following three defects.1. There is a hole on the top lid indicating that a finial might have been there originally.2. According to the seller I bought this mill from several years ago, this mill was converted to a lamp at som...e point of its long history (while leaving its grinding mechanism intact and functional) then brought back to its original function as a coffee mill. Frankly I cannot see any trace of that history.3. There is a split in the body right above the drawer but it has no effect on the integrity of the mill now or in the future since both sides of the split are held together very well. The split is just what you in the photos. It does not extend to the back of the mill. (See the last photo.)The mill has a beautiful patina with original decals. The tin drawer is original too.The mill works very efficiently, and the fineness/coarseness adjustment mechanism works very well two. I have been using this mill to grind coffee for my family for about 5 years.I am selling this mill and will be selling others because I must downsize.Weight and Dimensions:Weight is 12.75 pounds.Height is 10.5" including the wooden base.width (wheel to wheel) is 7"Wheel diameter is 9.75"
