History
Found in the 1950's in an old store in Wyoming. It was in a packing box and had never been opened or used. My grandfather was given it as a gift from the store owner whose was selling his store. He kept it in the box until 19755, when he unpacked it and displayed it in his basement. I inherited it 17 years ago and have also had it displayed on top of a large whiskey barrel.

Re: Enterprise double wheel cast iron coffee mill patented...

These were a very hot item back in the Victorian Crazy 1980's to early 90's, but demand for them has cooled somewhat in recent years, we'd retail one for about $800.00 now.

Re: Enterprise double wheel cast iron coffee mill patented...

I agree about these not being quite so popular but I have found only one of this make #12 in recent years and as of now, know of no others of this particular make, year and condition. And it has never ground a single bean. Thanks for you input though, appreciate your time.
