Description from the seller

A classic vintage British manual burr coffee grinder / mill, stamped in relief with "MADE IN ENGLAND NO. 1". Built in the iconic tradition of classic English domestic cast iron grinders (closely associated with historic British makers like Spong & Co. / Salter), this robust grinder is designed for either wall-mounting via dedicated screw lugs or tabletop use.

Finished in a glossy black enamel with refined gold-painted accents along the embossed lettering, rims, and base edges, it features an enameled white interior hopper for clean bean feeding. It comes complete with its original detachable cast metal round catch cup / ground collection tray and an ergonomic natural turned-wood crank handle.

Key Details & Additional Background:
Model / Marking: "Made in England – No. 1" (embossed in high relief on the front plate).
Origin: England, United Kingdom.
Design Period: Circa 1930s – 1960s (Mid-Century British Industrial/Kitchenalia).
Materials: Heavy solid cast iron, enameled interior hopper, turned hardwood handle knob.
Mechanism & Function:
Heavy-duty internal conical burr grinding mechanism operated by a rear hand-crank.
Front-facing adjustable thumb-screw / wing nut to easily control the grind coarseness from fine to coarse.
Mounting: Features twin pre-cast wall-mounting eyelets/lugs on the front frame for secure wall installation, as well as an integrated standing base.
Condition:
In very good vintage working order with a smooth crank action.
Complete with the matching removable ground coffee collection bowl.
Clean presentation with light, authentic age-appropriate cosmetic wear/patina to the paintwork and wood finish, highlighting its vintage appeal.
