This is an original early Star Mill cast iron coffee grinder model No. 9. The grinder features two large embossed cast iron wheels that read "Star Mills-Philadelphia" in gold over blue. The hopper and grinder housing show much of the original red paint overlaid with decorative decals, including one that reads "Henry Troemner Traders". The original brass eagle is still attached to the top of the hopper. The antique coffee grinder is in very good condition. The grinder appears to still be in functioning order but has not been tested with beans. These early cast iron Star Mill coffee grinders showing bright original paint, such as this example, have sold at auction for $1,700 at the Showtime Auction Services 4/4/2014 sale and $2,750 at the Showtime Auction Service 10/5/2014 sale. Some of these early Star Mill grinders have been valued over $5,000 with the grinder being sold in this lot carrying the same rarity and wonderful condition as the high valued examples. It measures 19.5" x 18.5" and is 29.5" tall.
