Lot 263: A Metal Countertop Grinder With A Bevel Gear Mechanism

A countertop grinder, featuring a curved hopper bowl and a rotating internal grinding mechanism. The piece is of metal construction with a dark-finished frame and a polished, copper-toned bowl and lid. It utilizes a two-gear bevel drive system to translate the motion of a side-mounted hand crank into a vertical grinding action. The crank features a turned wooden handle, and the central shaft is fitted with a tension-adjusting nut and spring assembly at the top. The circular base includes four integral mounting holes for surface attachment. A hinged flap on the bowl allows access to the hopper. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.
