Description

Antique One Pound Coffee Mill No. 1080 Challenge Cast Grinder

This antique One Pound Coffee Mill, No. 1080, features the classic Challenge “Cast Grinder” design with steel alloy burrs. The maker’s original paper label remains affixed to the front, though heavily worn, adding authentic character and confirming the model designation. Constructed with a dovetailed wooden box, cast iron crank handle, and side carry handle, this mill reflects late 19th to early 20th century American utility craftsmanship.

The grinder includes its original drawer with turned wood pull and a metal-lined interior. The substantial crank turns smoothly, and the burr assembly appears intact, making it suitable for display or careful functional use. A desirable example for collectors of early kitchenware, coffee history, or rustic industrial décor.


Condition

In good vintage condition overall, showing surface wear, scratches, and finish loss consistent with age and use. The paper label is fragmented and partially missing, as shown. Wood joints remain solid, the drawer fits properly, and metal components show oxidation but no visible breaks or repairs.


Dimensions

Approximately 10 x 7 x 7 inches
(Height x Width x Depth)
