Arcade Crystal Wall-Mount Coffee Grinder  Although this model is relatively common, this example is in extremely uncommon condition.  It is as close to mint as we have ever seen and looks to have never been used.  It is all original and complete with the properly marked "Freeport, Ill." catch-cup, an item which is usually missing.  They don't come much nicer than this!      Excellent ....$295.00    

SOLD

The Riverside #7 Size Double Wheel Coffee Mill  This is a very rare coffee mill that is in super condition.  McMillan barely makes mention of it in his exhaustive book on the subject of coffee mills, and there is not one pictured.   From the construction details it appears that Enterprise may have made it, but  the wheels, which measure about 17" in diameter, are a completely different casting.  It is marked "Riverside Manufacturing Co. New York Trojan" in bold letters.  It retains 90% or more of the deep red finish, and the paint on the wheels is dirty but still near perfect.  This unusual coffee grinder is far rarer than any Enterprise or Parker coffee mill in the same size or configuration and it will be a long time before you will ever see another in anything close to as nice condition.     Click for Pic         Click for Pic          Click for Pic

Hamilton Beach Electric Wall Mount Coffee Mill   This c.1915 coffee mill is a very hard to find example that is in pretty good condition.  It has the proper and operational cast iron speed control foot operated switch The cup may be a replacement, but as i have never seen another I can not really say.  The advertisement that I have seen for this grinder shows it without a lid, and I think we can safely assume that the one that is on it now was the last owners solution to the spiders and other critters of the night taking up residence after the lights were turned out.   Rare!!  Good++ ....$395.00    

SOLD

The Telephone Coffee Mill by Arcade This is an interesting coffee mill made by the famous maker of cast iron grinders and other cast iron kitchenware, The Arcade Manufacturing Co. of Freeport Ill..  It is in very nice overall condition and includes the original catch cup.  The tin screw lid is missing.  The wood is nice and has a great patina.  These were made to be mounted to the wall as the handle extends past the base as it revolves.  It is operational and ready for show or use.  A hard to find grinder.

The Star Mill Coffee Grinder  This unusual Coffee Mill / Grinder, "The Star Mill",  is from Philadelphia and if far rarer than a comparable Enterprise coffee grinder.  It is the size of a #7 mill and is the type that would sit on the end of the counter in a large General Store back near the turn of the century  The condition of the paint on this grinder is wonderful, and the stars on the wheels are a great touch.  The wheels measure 22" and the internal mechanism is intact and operational.  The brass top hopper has some nickel loss and the lid needs to be soldered back on, but overall it still looks pretty good.  Mills this size that have not been restored and are this nice with their original paint are becoming ever more difficult to find.  In the right setting this will make a great addition to the decor or overall effect in that special setting.             Excellent......... $1675.00       SOLD 

Enterprise #1 Coffee Mill  This model is often referred to as Enterprise's first model coffee mill.  It is marked  #1 in the casting below the hopper.  These early versions never had a lid for the hopper and there is no provision for one, and so this is correct as presented.   There is no casting damage, and the guts are present and operational.  The drawer front has been repainted, but the casting and overall condition is nice.  The black portions of the paint appear to have been enhanced  in some areas on this mill at some point, but there is lots of original paint left, and even some of the gold highlights and stripping on the base.              Good + ...............$295.00

#3 Enterprise Coffee Mill This very nice condition coffee mill was made by the most famous maker of cast iron grinders and other cast iron kitchenware, The Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia PA..  It is in very nice overall condition and is all original.  The paint is good+ and just slightly faded as is often found.  There are lots od decals remaining with good color. The wooden drawer with the #3 is proper and original right up to the mouse chew on the bak wall.  Seems they like coffee as well.  We used this mill to grind our coffee for about a year.  It works fine and grinds it as fine as one could want.  I think though we are going to go back to the electric one from the appliance store.  .  The wood base is nice and has a great patina.  One size bigger than the #2 these mills stand 14" tall and the wheel diameter is 12"   

Good + ...............$995.00

Small Cast Iron Table Top Coffee Mills  The unusual grinder on the left is known as the New Model Grinder, and hails from Freeport Ill.  It is simple in design, and yet holds a fascination for us because of this simplicity.
