Coffee Mill

Description

Black cast iron wall mounted coffee mill. Black metal with gold colored floral design embossed on hopper. It is difficult to see in the image, but the bracket on the right hand side is not straight and would have allowed for the grinder to attach to the wall without the hopper rubbing. Back of gear box text: "PAT APRIL 15, 1890 JUNE 5, 1894." Manufacturer: Likely made by "Royal" or could be a copy. Similar mills are marked with the name Royal. The patent dates listed on the item are typical of a Royal mill.
