John Wright Coffee Mill 

Here is a beautiful John Wright coffee mill.  This is the model no. 2111 with the red drawer.  We've had a few of these over the years, but this is the best one we've come across.  This is about as good as it gets, in mint condition.

This beauty stands just under a foot tall with 6 3/4 inch diameter wheels.  These were the last double-wheel coffee mills made in the US, in the late 1960s to early 1970s, by the Wrightsville Hardware Company in Wrightsville, PA.  This is a piece of American history, even though it's only about 40 years old.  Solid cast iron, this will last for generations to come.

The embossed wheels read:

John Wright Inc

Coffee Mill

Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves.  This a wonderful coffee mill and a stunning little gem that commands your attention.  It is a gorgeous display piece.  It's also in perfect working condition but the grind is fairly rough if you intend to use it.  Either way, you will love it!

Turn-of-the-Century Box Mill

This is a perfect example of an early American coffee mill! This large, 1 lb. mill with side handle has been used, hence the wonderful patina, yet it is still in great condition for being 100 years old! Although no identifying marks have survived, there was a label on the front and on the bottom of the drawer at one time (which we've tried to show in the pictures).

This could be a Waddell mill, or the later Sun Challenge mill or the Chillicothe box mill.  (Recently there has been much speculation between these mills but we'll leave that for another topic.  We have the Sun Challenge No. 1080 with the original label below...take a close look and you'll see the similarities.)  It has rounded dovetail construction; rounded tin drawer with wooden bottom piece; and is the same size as these mills. 

This is a large one-pound box mill (so called because you are supposed to be able to fit one pound of coffee beans in the hopper at a time--we have not tried it) complete with the screw top lid and the fineness-of-grind control. It has some stress marks from age, but is in great mechanical condition. Part of the drawer-pull is broken off and a small sliver of the back base has broken off over the years as well (both of which we've shown).

The box is approx. 5.75" square, 7.75" tall and stands 11" tall to the top of the handle.

Age: Early 1900's.
