Arcade No. 25 coffee mill was one of the earlier glass jar mills with its name embossed on the neck beneath the jar. The original model had an air-tight glass hopper. The hopper is screwed into the neck. The metal parts are coated with black enamel. It was designed to be attached to the kitchen wall. The jar holds one pound of coffee beans. 15 1/2″ tall.
The easiest way to identify No. 25 grinder is by looking at the glass bean hopper and the metal lid. If you look at the bean jar, it is marked “Arcade 25”, and the lid is stamped “Arcade”. No. 25 mill uses a generic catch cup.

This model looks very similar to the very popular Crystal series. They look very similar. The Crystal series has a more artistic design.
Here is one fact you may not know about No. 25. I see a lot of them being sold on eBay but the real original design should come with “No 25” written on the neck. Ones with “Arcade, Lees, and Atwood” are the earlier models before Arcade 25 was produced in large numbers.
