Coffee grinders? nah, nobody wants them. My 700 just sits there and looks pretty.

Don’t the exhaust fumes bother the wife? The angle of the photo almost makes it look like you converter it it internal combution or steam powered. .

I should have remembered how you scrutinize everything in the background of my photos. The 1871 Edward S Clark, South Boston, steam launch engine has nothing to do with the coffee mill, except share a place to rest. Likewise, the Smith's of Derby tower clock, whose pendulum rod is visible in front of the mill, does not make the coffee at a preset time. The Carlisle Finch bipolar motor/dynamo is very much like the motors used on the motor driven Parker mills shown in their catalog.

The number 431 is a relatively common box type grinder. It is medium height and has the handle built into the metal top on it. The label on the front will be dark Red in color.
They are found relatively regularly on eBay along with other similar versions. If one is in very good condition it is maybe worth $75 - $100 to a Charles Parker collector.
