      Mr. Anderson,
      I just bought an Enterprise No. 5 grinder that is in very good condition but is missing the wooden drawer. Do you make those or know of a source? I am not a collector or dealer, just wanted a great grinder. I would appreciate your help.

    I have a Enterprise No 50 15″ wheel that was recently acquired, that has either an older restoration or it’s original paint. Wanting to restore, but don’t know if it would be worth it. I have been unable to find any of these in my searches and was wondering the rarity of these also. Thanks

    Would like to know the model number of an Enterprise Coffee Grinder I recently acquired. It is dated July 12, 1898, the wheels are 19 1/2 inches.
    It stands 27″ high with the eagle on top. It is orange/salmon color. There is a number on the wheel 2347 and a number on the interior grinder parts 170. There is a number on the inside of the lid 3272. The wooden drawer is missing. Everything else seems to be intact.
    Any information would be helpful. Thanks, Bruce
