Antique Arcade X-Ray Coffee Grinder - 1890s Coffee Mill

Antique Arcade X-Ray Coffee Grinder
Wonderful find, this is the Arcade X-Ray Coffee Grinder or Mill, manufactured by the Arcade Mfg. Co. of Freeport, Ill.
This is a beautiful example of the X-Ray grinder, lovely wood construction with dovetail joint corners, cast iron grinder and housing, and a cast-iron removable catch cup. To fill the hopper with beans, rotate the cast-iron lid at the top of the box. To clean the hopper, the glass pane is removable. The grinder is fully adjustable to grind a coarse or fine grind. The wing nut that holds the crank handle on is the adjustment for the grinder. Loosen the wing nut and adjust the round nut behind it. The back of the grinder box has five holes; these are to attach it to the wall. Wall screws not included.
We have disassembled the grinder and thoroughly cleaned and inspected the grinding wheel; it is ready to grind that perfect cup of coffee.
The Arcade X-Ray grinders did not have the Arcade name on them; they only had a round sticker on the glass, which was usually discarded.

Circa: 1890s.
Measurements: 13” tall, 4½” wide without handle, protrudes 7¼” off the wall.
Condition: clean condition, ready to use. Glass Pane has jagged edges, as shown in the pictures.
