Enterprise Double Wheel
Coffee Mills / Grinders
The 
#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 of decals remaining with good color. The wooden drawer
with the #3 is proper and original right up to the mouse chew on the back 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

Enterprise #2 Cast Iron Coffee Mill / Grinder
This
super original condition coffee grinder was made by the premier maker of such things,
the Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia PA. It is in very nice overall
with bright colors and the paint being original, as are the decals. The base
and drawer are original and nice. The decals on the body are original but
somewhat worn and faded as can be expected. There is a bit of coffee
residue on the wheels and body as is often found, and we tend to leave them this
way as it is true indication of the age and character of these fabulous devices
from a time past. You can buy #2 grinders pretty regularly, but not this earlier
smaller size referred to as the "baby". These models never had a top, and
it is proper as shown. This is an unusual opportunity to be able to
buy one in this nice condition. Very Nice!!

damaged.

It is not all faded or worn as many of these 100 year old grinders that were used a lot are. The decals are original and better than most. A couple of them do show wear, but overall they are very nice. The eagle on the top is a replacement to cover the hole from when it was a lamp. The internal grinding plates are present and it works just fine. The cast iron drawer with the porcelain knob is proper and original but has a hole drilled in the bottom, again from when it was a lamp. There are no other holes or modifications from when it was a lamp. Nice!!

Use it, or display as a true
American antique and piece of Americana. Very nice.Good + . . . . . $115.00
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.

The paint is good+ and just slightly faded as is often found. There are lots of decals remaining with good color. A couple of them do show wear, but overall they are very nice. The cast iron drawer with the porcelain knob is proper and original. This mill works fine and grinds, but there is a slight wobble to one wheel.

It is in super condition overall with the bright colors and all paint being original, as are the decals which are nicer than almost ever seen. It appears to have been overcoated at one point with some sort of gloss, but this probably explains the exceptional condition, and is not a detraction or distraction. The base and drawer are original and nice. There is a small chip in the handle. The decals on the body are original and as nice as one could want noting some small amount of fading. There is a bit of coffee residue on the wheels and body as is often found, and we tend to leave them this way as it is true indication of the age and character of the fabulous devices from a time past. You can buy these grinders pretty regularly, but not in this condition, and it is an unusual opportunity to be able to buy one in the nice condition. Super!!

Antique
Coffee Mills / Grinders
The
Landers,
Frary, &Clark #20 1/2 Cast Iron Coffee Mill
This super condition coffee grinder is still
sporting nearly 100% of its two-tone original Black and White finish. This
famous and well respected company put out a well finished and highly detailed series
of coffee mills and in their quest for market share with Enterprise and other makers
of quality cast iron products back near the turn of the last century. They
went the extra mile with details like ball bearing wheels and varying paint schemes
to entice the buyer to purchase their version. This model has the extra bonus
of the nickel plated hopper that is an exceedingly rare find in today's marketplace.
I have seen these in a number of different paint schemes and they really do stand
out from the typical red that most Enterprises or Parker Mills came in. The
internals are here as well, and it does a real nice job grinding coffee as well.
A super coffee mill in rarely seen model and super condition to boot!!
Good + . . . . .$1795.00 SOLD!

National Specialty Mfg. Co. Philadelphia #2 Size Coffee Mill
/ Grinder This #2 size coffee mill was
made by National Specialty Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia PA. This make
coffee mill is far rarer than similar size mills by other makers. It has two
very distinctive features with the 8 sided shape of the casting for the
body, and the grind adjuster being lever actuated and controlled by a
thumbscrew in the body below the shaft on the side. Both of these features
are a unique design.This number 2 size National coffee mill stands just over 12 inches tall and has 9" diameter wheels. The overall condition is very nice. There is minimal wear to the decals or original paint on the body of the grinder. The front of the proper drawer was repainted and is a very good match.. It is a bit dirty from use, and I think looks better this way than cleaned with the resulting loss that almost always happens to the decals and gold highlights. It is the perfect size for display in the country kitchen or other settings and will make for a great addition to any collection. Nice!!

Parker 202 Coffee Grinder
We started
buying antique coffee grinders / mills a few years ago--- # 2's, wall-mounts, big
ones, lap models, etc. and more by luck than by really knowing anything we managed
to acquire and keep a few really nice ones. Back then Parkers were second
rate and the rage was over Enterprise grinders. This Parker 202 struck us
as being unusual in that it looked like a floor model grinder, or larger countertop
model in design, but it is really the size of a No. 2 with just 8 1/2" wheels.
Also the high-top sliding domed lid is a different design than commonly seen.
We've heard there are only a couple known and we would be curious to hear if there
are any others out there.
Good + . . . . .$1795.00 SOLD!
Chas.
Parker Meriden Conn. # 250 Coffee Mill
It would be hard for anyone to find fault with the condition of this spectacular
piece as it is simply superb. This coffee mill came to us here in California
a few years ago at one of the few remaining shows that we bother going to anymore.
It is the type of find that makes you drive 3 or more hours and spend lots of money
on expenses even though you know in your heart that you will probably come home
empty. We have a similar Enterprise grinder with a nickeled hopper, but it
is much smaller and no where near as graphic or interesting as this one is.
When we first started buying grinders, it seemed that Enterprise grinders were all
the rage, and that they would bring far more than their off brand counterparts.
That trend seems to have lessened, and now I think people have begun to realize
that these Parkers and some others are far less common than the Enterprise models.
In addition to coffee grinders / mills like this, Parker made a host of other cast
iron products and hardware, as well as a superior line of firearms and they had
a reputation for always putting forth a quality product. They certainly did
not skimp or hold back on this piece.

Landers,
Frary & Clark #20 Cast Iron Coffee Mill
Landers, Frary & Clark is a well known name to coffee mill / grinder and kitchen
antiques collectors. Their product line ranged from such things as eggbeaters
to toasters and just about anything else kitchen or household related.This antique coffee grinder is an example from their great line of cast iron and patented mechanical household devices and is one of the nicest made and well engineered example coffee mills any maker put out. It had to be to compete with the other big names like Charles Parker, Enterprise, National, E. C. Simmons or Keen Kutter and more.
This #2 size cast iron coffee grinder features a cast iron body and 8 1/2" Dia. wheels. It is mounted on the original wood base, and the drawer is original. The lid is good and that is the only area where there is any finish missing.. The grinding plates are present, and sharp. The fine adjust screw is here, and functions properly. The original paint is approx 95% or better and the decals for the most part bright, complete and much nicer than one would expect for a near 100 year old coffee mill.
One of LF&C upgraded features for their line of coffee mills is the unusual feature of ball bearings at the end of the main axle against the wheels to ensure near effortless operation. It was a nice gesture, very visible, and I am sure a great advertising and marketing feature. One might wonder though why the ball bearings or any bearing were not incorporated at the actual point where the most wear would occur, being where axle meets the body, but not to worry, there is no wear and this one runs tight and smooth with no wobble or looseness, and the ball bearings still look good. Marketing.
This coffee mill is in super condition and will make for a great display piece, or a good user. It really is true that ground as opposed to cut coffee has a different and better flavor. Try it!!
Good + . . . . .$1095.00 SOLD!
Landers,
Frary & Clark #20 Cast Iron Coffee Mill
Landers, Frary & Clark mills came in a variety of color combinations.
All are getting hard to find. Even harder is finding them in n8ice
condition. They were a well made mill and got used.This #2 size cast iron coffee grinder features a cast iron body and 8 1/2" Dia. wheels. It is mounted on the original wood base, and the drawer is original. The lid is good and that is the only area where there is any finish missing.. The grinding plates are present, and sharp. The fine adjust screw is here, and functions properly. The two tone paint is original paint is approx 80% or better and the decals for the most part bright, complete and much nicer than one would expect for a near 100 year old coffee mill.These two tone mills are much harder to find than the solid color ones.
This coffee mill is in nice condition and will make for a great display piece, or a good user. It really is true that ground as opposed to cut coffee has a different and better flavor. Try it!!

Chas.
Parker #3000 Coffee Grinder Parker Mills are
much harder to find than either Enterprises or Lander Frary & Clark.
They are a superior product, but I think Parker was more focused on
their line of guns than the manufacture of nice Coffee Mills.
This one is in nice condition, complete, correct w/ a wooden drawer in
this size, and grinds coffee like a charm.
Good + . . . . .$1295.00 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.
Good + . . . . $2495.00 SOLD!
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.
Good + . . . . .$1295.00 SOLD!
Coles
#2 Size Coffee Mill
These #2 size coffee grinders by makers other than
Enterprise and L. F. & C. are becoming very difficult to find. This is a very
early example and in all likelihood dates from the last quarter of the 1800s. The paint is pretty good
with some areas showing chipping and loses, but overall it is very nice. The
Coles name and the location of Phila. Pa. are cast into both of the wheels which
measure 9 3/4" across. The paint and gold highlighting on these are very good.
The decals are here, and may clean, but look worn. The one apology is a small
chip out of one corner on the original cast iron drawer. The adjuster for
determining the grind is present and operable. The wooden base is original
and very nice as well. A nice example of a hard to find grinder.
Good + . . . . $395.00 SOLD!
Enterprise
#9 Coffee Mill / Grinder
This is a nice looking #9 size Enterprise Coffee Mill. It has 20" dia
wheels. The wooden drawer is proper and nice. The decals are in
very nice condition. The orange / red paint is in excellent condition.
There is one apology in that the top hopper has a tight hairline crack that
runs from the top down about 2" It is hardly noticeable and not in
danger of going anywhere. It looks like it could almost be a factory
flaw. A great display piece for the country / general store look. Nice!!
Good + . . . . .$1295.00 SOLD!
Keen Kutter / Koffee Krusher
Coffee Mills / Grinders
The
Keen Kutter Simmons Hardware Koffee Krusher #12 Coffee Mill / Grinder
This is a very rare coffee mill. Very few of
this brand coffee mills have ever come to market. One sold at the famous Simmons
Auction Co. bi-annual THCKK specialty antique hardware store and advertising auction a
few years ago that was the
same size as this. That example brought $4000+ but I was not there to witness that and do not know what condition
it was in or even what color it was. In any case blue is the rarest of colors for any coffee mill by any maker and
especially so for this Keen Kutter model put out by Simmons Hardware in St Louis. Simmons Hardware. Co., if you are not familiar with them or their style were more a distributor and marketer than actual producer of the products they sold---the hardware and housewares Wal-Mart of their day if you will. They were masters of their game in their time and were hugely successful in the midwest before spreading throughout the country marketing their wares. Most times they jobbed out the production of the wares to different high quality manufacturers and then applied their name and used their reputation and marketing skills to sell the product. That fact is interesting to note in this case, as different parts of this mill, and the others I have seen display characteristics of mills from more than one maker. As an example, the wheel layout and design are by Enterprise, but the ball bearing feature on the main shaft is a feature typically associated with Landers, Frary, and Clark, another famous producer of quality cast iron products during the 19th century. It seems as though they were contracting out the different parts of the mills to different companies and then assembling the machines themselves. Probably as a cost cutting measure to keep an individual company from charging them too much.
They did similar things with other products, first ordering it from one manufacturer and then switching to another, but always keeping the Simmons name and the double K logo for Keen Kutter. With coffee mills they changed that to Koffee Krusher. This mill is in very nice overall condition. Nice!!
Good + . . . . .$1650.00 SOLD!
Simmons
Hardware Co. St Louis MO Koffee Krusher
#2 Size Coffee Mill
This is a super rare and in super condition
vintage coffee grinder / mill that was produced for the Simmons Hardware Co. of
St. Louis, MO near the turn of the last century. Their logo was a pair of
KK's and the name Keen Kutter, thus explaining the name Koffee Krusher cast into
the wheels of this coffee mill. Simmons Hdwe. Co. was a famous hardware store,
and their line of products have become quite collectible, and the rare pieces that
they produced bring respectable amounts these days. This piece is unusual,
and unlike a lot of stuff that comes out of the Midwest it is in super condition.
I remember the first one of these I saw go on the internet a few years back.
The seller did not know what the initials meant and never mentioned the name Keen
Kutter or Simmons in the ad. There was next to no bidding and as I waited
for the clock to run down my computer disconnected and I missed the chance to bid.
It sold for a pittance.

The
Koffee Krusher #12 (2) Size Double Wheel Coffee Mill
by Simmons Hardware / Keen Kutter Brand in
BLUE This
is a very rare coffee mill. I know
of one other that sold at the famous Simmons Auction Co. bi-annual
THCKK
specialty antique hardware store and
advertising auction a couple years ago that was the same size as this.
That example brought $4000+ but I was not there to witness that and do
not know what condition it was in or even what color it was. In
any case blue is the rarest of colors for any coffee mill by any maker and especially
so for this Keen Kutter model put out by Simmons Hardware in St
Louis.
Simmons Hardware. Co., if you are not familiar with them or their style, they were more a distributor and marketer than actual producer of the products they sold---the hardware and houseware Wall Mart of their day if you will. They were masters of their game in their times and were hugely successful at first in their original location, and then spreading throughout the country marketing their wares. Most times they jobbed out the production of the wares to different high quality manufacturers and then applied their name and used their reputation and marketing skills to sell the product.
That is interesting to note in this case, as different parts of this mill, and the other one that I have, display characteristics of mills from more than one maker. As an example, the wheel layout and design are by Enterprise, but the ball bearing feature on the main shaft is a feature typically associated with Landers, Frary, and Clark, another famous producer of quality cast iron products during the 19th century.

Probably as another cost cutting measure to keep an individual company from charging them too much.
They did similar things with other products, first ordering it from one manufacturer and then switching to another, but always keeping the Simmons name and the double K logo. This mill is in very nice overall condition. It is faded somewhat from exposure to sunlight, and the front knob is missing, but otherwise it is complete, damage free and a rare and desirable piece for collectors from several categories to find.

Arcade Catch Cup This Golden Rule wall
mount advertising coffee Grinder is a nice looking mill.
The cup is a generic replacement. There is a
small crack in the top corner of the glass window. It is above the window
hole
and from the outside looking in it is near invisible to see. It can only bee
seen when you look at it from the inside where it was taped. It is
otherwise very nice and damage free. The wood
board is nice, and the cast iron front with all the info cast into it is
very nice.

Arcade
Model 1910 Deco Coffee Mill w/ Original Box & Instructions
This is just about the rarest of all coffee mills Arcade offered. It was
also the last wall mount model they offered. It has a great Deco look
to it, and this one is in super original condition. The catch cup is right,
the original rubber gasket is here, as are the original box, and instructions.
There are some very minor flakes on the top and bottom openings, but nothing
serious. A nice design and a super hard to find coffee mill that will
fit right into that kitchen remodel you are doing.
Very Good . . . . . .$295.00 SOLD!

Lap or Table Top
Coffee Mills / Grinders
The
"New Model" Patented
1886 Coffee Grinder
This cast iron open frame coffee mill was manufactured by New Union Manufacturing Company
of Freeport, Illinois. Freeport was also home to another famous coffee grinder
maker Arcade. The grinder is marked "New Model" in a curve on the cast iron base and "PTD. July 20 '86" inside the cast iron hopper.
The patent was obtained by Edward and Charles Morgan. According to "The Macmillan Index of Antique Coffee Mills" the general design, with wooden-faced metal drawer and the open housing of the drawer, made the mill near unique and it is a quite hard model to find.
This antique cast iron coffee grinder is in great condition, totally functional with no breaks or repairs. Minimal wear or tear and lots of original finish remains. Wooden base and drawer are original, as is the crank knob. A rare coffee mill that would compliment any antique coffee mill collection, primitive kitchen setting or a neat addition to a old country store display.

Grand
Union by Erie / Griswold Coffee Mill
This grinder is marked Grand Union, and was made by Erie. It is more
common than the Griswold version by far. They are often damaged, but this one is
nice noting that as usual the catch cup is missing..

Erie
Lap Mill Style Cast Iron Coffee Grinder
The condition of the rare and desirable coffee mill is second to none. In addition to the Erie cast
into the lid, this one also has the name and location of a famous early
Hardware company that was in Syracuse New York back during the late 19th
century. That name was Hessler. We have had and seen the Grand Union version of this grinder
numerous times, and have owned the version marked Griswold a couple times, but
this is the first time we have seen this variation, and have never seen a nicer
condition example in any configuration. A rare and desirable piece by any
measure.

Vintage Cast Iron Top
Wooden "Lap" / Coffee Mill
There are many different version of this style "lap" coffee mill. Most are not
marked as to name. They could be used on the countertop, and that is where
they display well, but they are known as lap mills as i imagine a lot of coffee
was ground while the operator sat down with this in his lap. Some had decals or paper labels that over the years
fell off or were worn away. I see no name on this one, or remnants of any
labels. It is a real and early one unlike some of the ones you can find
today. It is well constructed and damage free. It does look to have been refinished at some point in time.

Kenrick Cast Iron Coffee Mill

They can be found japanned or polished steel like this one. The brass tag
on the front gives the company name, logo and location. It is a well
constructed coffee mill and damage free. Nice!!

"Crown
No. 2 " Handheld Coffee Grinder / Mill This
is an odd & unusual coffee mill. I believe it is by LANDERS, FRARY & CLARK.
It is marked "No. 2 Crown Coffee Mill". It is not
marked Landers Fray & Clark, but the fill lid is marked No. 2 Crown Coffee Mill,
and the Crown decal is similar to those used by L. F. & C. on their other style coffee
mills. The bottom of the catch cup is marked Made in USA.
I have had and sold many many coffee grinders over the years and have never seen or had this handheld version before. It is a bit awkward to use, trying to hold it steady and turn the crank at the same time. I can imagine it was not a good seller compared to wall mount or countertop model mills or grinders one typically sees.
It is in overall nice cosmetic condition with a lot of original finishes. The grinder aspect works. The cast iron handle is good. There are some small dents, and insignificant scratches, but nothing major.
It does have an apology. The threads on the bottom for the catch cup are a bit buggered and the catch cup does not screw on properly or easily. It goes on and stays in place, but not correctly.

Davidson's
1886 Patent Coffee Roaster This unusual coffee
roaster was patented in 1886 by O. E. Davidson of Nashville Tenn. It
is a rare and near unique design. Cranking the handle that is housed
in cast iron handle that looks like a corn cob activates the cast iron gear,
which engages the ring, which moves the articulated feet inside and the
center blades to stir up the beans as they were roasting. It is a very
ingenious setup that looks like it would work well. The patent can be
viewed easily by putting the title into Google. Beyond that there is
little to no info on this rare piece of Kitchenalia / Americana. The tin top, which resembles a Chinese hat is correct. It does have some minor damage. The main pan, the mechanism and its moving parts, including the ring are all cast iron and in nice undamaged condition. Much rarer than the cannonball design roaster that you see offered once in a while. Nice!!

The
Cannonball Coffee Roaster
This revolving coffee roaster is a
Patented idea that is commonly referred to as the cannonball. It comes in
2 sizes that I know of and both are very hard to find complete.
They are oftentimes missing the base or ring. This one is
complete.

Primitive
Revolving Coffee Roaster This
small primitive tin coffee roaster is a bit different from most found or
seen. It is complete with its small tray for holding burning coals or
other hot material to roast the beans. The revolving canister with sliding
door is housed in
the enclosed body surrounding it. It has numerous decorative cutouts for
ventilation. It has some rust on the outer housing but nothing
major or that would not clean or look better with a cleaning and oil or wax
treatment of some sort. This unusual coffee roaster is a top-shelf
piece you'll be proud to own and show off!
Good +. . . . . . $150.00 SOLD!!
