Authentic antique Imperial hand-crank coffee mill manufactured by Arcade Mfg. Co. of Freeport, Illinois, circa 1890–1910. This impressive Victorian-era grinder features an ornate cast-metal top with raised geometric decoration and manufacturer’s lettering, a long hand crank with turned wooden knob, a substantial wooden box with dovetailed construction, and a removable grounds drawer.

The mill measures approximately 8 inches across the base and about 10½ inches high to the top of the crank knob. It weighs approximately 4 pounds 9.7 ounces.

It remains in wonderfully aged, unrestored condition with a rich dark wood finish and naturally worn metal patina. There is surface dust, oxidation, finish wear, scratches, and normal age-related wear throughout. The drawer fits somewhat unevenly, as photographed. No attempt has been made to polish or restore the piece. Please examine all photographs closely for condition and completeness.

A handsome and increasingly difficult-to-find piece of American kitchen history—ideal for an antique kitchen, country-store display, coffee collection, or farmhouse interior.
