Now this coffee grinder is from a Old General store it was made by Charles Parker Company it the same company that made shot guns ca. 1880 WOW!! Having a cup of coffee from this one would be a Blast..
These are small grinder that would grind only enough beans for one pot...these you would find in most homemakers Kitchens there are from 1870-1890.
Now these next two hung on the side of a covered wagons...I guess when the people went West they also had to have their morning jump start lol !! ca. 1840-1860 I just love all the history these have..Just image the journey that must of been with no roads, with indian's after you, and all your belongings in a wagon..but hey !! they didn't have to pay for GAS !!! OH when traveling was fun.
The Hopper on both of these are tin..but the rest is Iron and the wood frames my late DH made so we could hang them on Kitchen wall to display..
These next two also would have been found in a homemaker kitchen... and I have used both of these...however the beans I have in them are so old now I wouldn't want to drink the coffee of course that might wake me up if I did...
You see the little rings at the bottoms??? take your time I'm wait while you find them...now you pull that ring and it releases the glass that you just grounded your beans into..it only there to hold the container while you grind.. these are both from ca. 1870
Now whats all these grinder without COFFEE ??? The Tin Caswell 's Coffee can I keep my coffee filters in and the Glass Coffee container Red and White Coffee is from ca. 1940 and I keep my Coffee in it...Of course sitting right beside it is my Bunn Coffee Machine but didn't show it Hey !! I want you guys to think I really do work for my morning cuppa coffee...
Hope you all have enjoy your Coffee with me today.. Please come back for a second Cup.. Have a great and safe day... Hugs and Smiles Gloria

Okay...I am SERIOUSLY conveting that gorgeous 3-D coffee sign~~I LOVE it!! And what a history lesson! You know my eyes "perked up" when I saw the grinders that were attached to covered wagons! I wish we had had one of those when we were doing so much of our trailriding. I used to think about the same things...wondering what it would be like going across the West with no roads, etc. I'm afraid I'll take the modern life! LOL I just loved this post...so interesting AND I love coffee!! :-)
I also love your blog wallpaper..the blue&white and lace is so YOU!! Love ya Queen G! :-)

I've always heard a day when you don't learn something, is a day wasted. Well this day wasn't wasted, thanks to you. All I want when I come to your Blog is to make like a sponge and soak it all in. Thanks for making the learning process so entertaining.
How interesting this was to read and look at...I have one of the little wooden grinders and a Blue Windmill Delft wall grinder. Had no idea of the age.....
