RARE Antique DOVETAILED CHERRY Coffee BOX MILL Grinder PEWTER HOPPER w ROUTING_4123




Although it’s unlikely, let’s say they passed a law stating that no household was allowed to own more than one “box mill coffee grinder.” That being the case, this is the one you’d want to hang on to.
Was that too much of a stretch? Not for me, it wasn’t. 

 

From its dovetailed box to its raised pewter hopper; its square nails to its gracefully hand routed base; it is most certainly the most pleasing box mill I’ve ever owned. (It appears I should wipe a little dust off the top now that it is leaving my house, something I didn’t think would ever happen.)


 
You’re going to see about a jillion images, but I wanted to try my dangdest to give you an idea of the old, mellow surface, the dovetailing and the routed base right off the bat.

 
100% original – My best guess as to its age is 1870; give or take a decade.



 
I’ll let you look at the drawer, then you can tell me: How sweet is that?!


 
It even has a chamfered bottom.
