Late 1800's - early 1900's Arcade Imperial Coffee Grinder. The cast iron top is really ornate, but unfortunately missing the Imperial part of its top. The dovetailing on its corners and even its drawer are impressive and shows the quality items were made with back then. The base is approximately 6" square at its widest point and is 8 1/2" tall to the top of its handle. This coffee grinder is in excellent condition, except for its missing piece, better than I've ever seen for its age for sure.
Arcade Manufacturing was incorporated in 1885 and originally occupied a one-story building on Chicago Street in Freeport, Illinois. It was in business until 1945.
