In 1828, Charles Parker started making coffee mills for Patrick Lewis, a manufacturer of coffee mills. Charles contracted with Patrick Lewis to make coffee mills for his company. The Charles Parker company went through many rough times including many failures and closures until they closed the door permanently. I will share more history on Charles Parker on its history page. It was really an innovative company at the time with huge number of patents.
Charles Parker Coffee Mills for Sale
One of the most interesting coffee mills they’ve invented was the Planters’ Mills from the late 1850s. I really wish I can see it in person someday. I haven’t yet to see it on eBay. I did see a few offers for broken ones, but haven’t seen a full set (with its stand)
It is actually not made for coffee, but this thing was a monster. It was known to grind just about anything, including coffee, widely used on farms.

I’m looking for the value of a Charles Parker Coffee Grinder #535. The coffee beans are still in it and it is in great condition. Thanks!

HI,
I can not put a picture of my grinder in because i do not have
your email address.
I have a Parker Coffee Grinder # 441 for a very long time.
Why is it I can not find another # 441 ?
I see a lot of Parker # 449’s ?
It is in excellent shape.
Would you tell me an estimate of value for the Parker # 441 ?
Thank you
Allen
