This is a special section where you can submit your photos of antique coffee grinders that need to be identified. Once you send me your photos and descriptions, I will post them on this page so that other experts can take a look and identify your mysterious antique coffee grinder.
Please send your request using our contact form. You can submit the photos of your grinder there. Due to the increased amount of abuse of the contact form, I’ve disabled it for now. You can still email me directly with your photos. My email address is listed on the contact page. Thank you.

I have a Charles Parker Coffee mill that is missing the drawer. It is in the original painted condition with a emblem type design on the red paint. There is no date on it but Charles Parker name is on the wheels and on the box part(where the drawer should be). Can you estimate how old this is and what it might be worth?

QUESTION: When fully assembled and 3 screws binding main body together, the hopper was somewhat wobbly (I’m anal about detail). I am guessing there must have been some sort of a “gasket” around the neck of hopper (male end) to fill the gap between the glass of the hopper and the metal neck (female receptor) to negate the wobble. So, I cut a thin 1/4″ wide strip of upper shoe leather that I placed right above the “ring” of the hopper and sewed the ends together for a tight bracelet fit. I reassembled the grinder, and, wa-la- I created a snug/no-wobble assmbly. I’m getting ready to list this on Ebay, if I carefully attach a note of my “tweak” do you think that will raise doubts in the minds of potential buyers? Was there actually some sort of “gasket” utilized in the original coffee bean grinders such as this? I really do appreciate finding you on line. In advance, thank you!! John
