This is from the early 1900's a B. C. Holwick coffee grinder that was a commercial grinder back in the day. It has a Robbins & Myer Motor - both the grinder and motor are marked U.S. The motor is listed as Phase 1, Cycle 60, Type A, Volts 110, 1/4 HP, RPM 1750 and I cannot read some of the other things. I will check it again when I am with the piece and see if I can had more info. This is appx. 27" tall and the weight is in the neighborhood of 40 lbs - possibly as high as 50 - but I can lift it so I think it is closer to 40. I will take a scale to it and weigh it too. However, given the size and weight it is preferred to be a pick-up item. I will ship it but that would be at the buyer's expense and would have to be freight arranged. I had a coffee bar and have sold two heavy espresso machines and freight is no fun, nor is it cheap. It can also be taken to a pack and ship place for proper boxing and that too can be done at the buyer's expense but keep in mind, shipping will add a significant cost to the item. However, I will assist in the getting the piece there if that is how you want to do it. This is a green grinder with some gold leaf accents. It is pretty clean. I did not grind coffee with it but it does run. It has a light switch type on/off plate that you can see in the photographs. It is not perfectly clean but it was taken good care of. It is missing the catching bin but you can put any container that fits under it. It is also possible to find the missing bin in some other sale. I got this at an auction/estate sale for my husband's birthday; however, given the size he decided he'd rather not have something that big. He roasts his own coffee and we have various equipment but he felt this was just too big to take up valuable space. I can imagine the great smell that fills the room when coffee is ground with this.
