Antique Charles Parker No. 444 Coffee Mill Grinder Wall Mount

Description

Up for bid is an original antique pre-owned
Charles
Parker No. 444 Coffee Mill Grinder Wall Mount.
Found at an estate sale of an antique collector.
Made by the Charles Parker Plant.
This grinder was made by the Charles Parker Company , Meriden Conn. in the early 1900's.
The grinder measures about 14 1/4 inches long.
The handle is embossed with PAT. DEC 4, 1917.
The catch cup is missing as well it is missing the label that would have been on the hopper.
The grinder is functional.
The advantage of this mill was having the never-slip “fineness” adjustment nut as part of the crank holding nut.
I was able to trace this coffee mill by using the Patent Date of Dec 4, 1917.
The records showed that a patent number 1,248,458 was issued to the Charles Parker Co, Meriden, Connecticut.
Also the MacMillan Index of Antique Coffee Mills by Joseph Edward MacMillan has the same image of this coffee wall grinder as No. 444.
This parker grinder was made from 1910 to 1928.
This grinder is in very good condition with general wear from use and age.
Handle turns, some scattered rust on the metal parts.
A great piece for any Coffee Mill collector.
The handle and/or the hopper may
be removed separately and packed together for shipping to the buyer.

Items condition:
Please take a moment to enlarge & view all the detailed photos, as they are the true description for the condition of this item and override any written description above.
I'm selling mostly used items purchased at Estate Sales.
I try to describe the best I can but the photos capture what may have been missed in the written description.
I try to describe everything to the best of my knowledge but very few things I sell are Brand New and it will be stated in the listing if they are new. If it looks like a stain, nick, or fading in the photographs then it probably is, but I believe the condition of these items is part of their charm.
