Arcade Imperial Box Mill

This is a wonderful Imperial box mill made by the Arcade Mfg. Co. in Freeport, ILL. We're not sure of the exact model, but believe it is the No. 147, one of the earliest mills of the Imperial series, made in the very early 1900s.

It is all original, complete and fully functional. It has a wonderful patina with quite a bit of the original bronze finish still shining after a hundred years. The top has a crack running through it and a corner of the drawer has broken off. This was a great little find from a shop in Florence, Colorado. We have left it just the way we found it and have not touched it up in any way.

The hopper is embossed "ARCADE MANUFACTURING COMPANY" and "IMPERIAL" around the outside edges.

This great box mill measures 7" wide x 7" deep and 11" to the top of handle.

Universal No. 14 Coffee Mill

Here is the popular Universal 14 coffee mill by Landers, Frary & Clark. It mounts on a countertop or shelf w/the adjustable bottom screw. The body & grinding mechanism (complete with the fineness-of-grind control) are in good condition. The top hopper is worn & slightly bent and the paint is rather chipped; but the original label is still in tact and very readable, as we've tried to show.

The patent date is Feb.14, 1905, by LF&C in New Britain, Conn.
The back of the handle is also imprinted "Made in USA."

Total Height: 12"          Age: Patented Feb. 14, 1905

Valley Electric Coffee Mill

This is a wonderful early "industrial strength" electric coffee mill made of solid cast iron with an aluminum hopper complete with a heavy duty brass fineness-of-grind control and it still works great! Although the top pictures are a little dark, it is deep maroon in color, stands almost 30" tall to the top of the hopper and weighs in at a whopping 60 pounds. The aluminum hopper itself is 14" tall and 9" wide.

We looked this up in Joe's book and we believe it to be the Model No. 17 made in the 1920s. It is one of only a few models they made and Joe tells us this model could grind up to 2 pounds per minute.

On the front is a metal plate which reads:
Valley Mill No. 86786 Valley Electric Co Made in St. Louis MO USA
Type 12A Horse Power 1/4 Volts 110 Phase 1 Cyc 60 Amps 6 RPM 1800

There is also a very faint Valley logo on the back which we have tried to show in a close up. All of the Valley mills have blue pin striping.

We've taken this all apart and cleaned up the inside; it's in wonderful condition.
We've used this to grind our own coffee and it works like a charm!
