T&C Clark Coffee Grinder CG17 Original quality, 19th century, very decorative cast iron coffee mill. Quite the prettiest we have had to date. Impressed in script to the underside 'T&C Clark Registered Feb 17 1842 No 1100'. The cast iron body, the pull out drawer and the cranked handle, all have acanthus leaf decoration in deep relief and the oval brass plate to the front has a Royal Coat of Arms and details 'T&C Clarke & Co Improved Coffee Mill'. The original brass knob to the drawer and the turned extoic hardwood knob to the grinding handle are both in good order. The two side lugs, in a rope twist design, were to secure the grinder to the shelf or table and the grind can be adjusted by using a screw driver through the aperture underneath with the drawer, when out. The original finish is long gone I'm afraid, for this was painted in a later cream paint, which has been removed and it has been finished in a coat of clear lacquer. Last, but not least, the original brass hopper was badly corroded and beyond repair, so we have fitted a replacement bowl made to suit copied from the original. Overall a super very early, very usable cast iron coffee grinder. Base 6.75" wide including lugs, 5.75" front to back, 7.75" high including knob and 9" wide including handle.
