Unusual Antique 1877 Coffee Mill Grinder ZUR ERINNERUNG Gnomes Queen Counter Top For Sale

Here\'s a Very Unusual Antique Coffee Grinder! It is a table top model made of all wood and bronze (?). It is 6 3/16ths inches to the top of the wood box, about 10 inches to the top of the metal ornament on top, and approx. 6 1/2 inches square. It has/had marquetry inlay strips on all sides, some pieces of which are now missing. It has three of the cutest little figures incorporated into it. Two are Gnomes rolling a barrel, one is the top finial, the other is the knob for the coffee drawer. The other little figure looks like a Queen, she\'s holding a staff and has a crown on her head. The top plate is marked; ZUR ERINNERUNG 1877, which translates to; TO REMEMBER.The \"Queen\" acts as the knob toslide it open so you can put the coffee beans in. The crank has a wide decorated plate with a \"B\" or \"BI\" on it. The knob on the crank has been replaced with a period knob that\'s not great, perhaps you could find a better replacement. Look over the pictures. Not likely you\'ll find another like this one to add to your collection.
