<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Berm_Rooster, post: 3053139, member: 17459&quot;]Hi ppl</p><p><br /></p><p>I have picked up 3 coffee grinders recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>First one called &quot;PERFEKT&quot; is gonna be easy to ID because it has branding on it. Something about Sweden...</p><p><br /></p><p>Second one is a square hand crank vertical burr grinder that has been adorned by its owner. I have seen similarish images online, but nothing close to this one. Some things I can tell you: Under the metal adornment is leather. Some if the metal is producing some kind of oxidation (I guess this negates anything precious/semi precious) green so brass? Some of the other metal retains its sheen and did not seem to oxidise. The mill has been adorned beyond the point of functionality as the lid has been soldered shut in the effort. I am thinking that this grinder (whether antique or not) has western origins and had been &quot;made pretty&quot; - something along the lines of Moroccan, Touareg, East African or Bedouin. Any ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p>3rd one is similar to above, oval in shape and there is no leather underlay. The motif is leading more to an eastern or oriental style with dragons all round.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would greatly appreciate any feedback, opinions, knowledge and news (good or bad). I bought these as a gift and I would love to tell a little bit more of the story when I present to the receiver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, I bought them all 3 in a curio/junk/antique shop on Zanzibar East Africa. The shop owner was nice, but could not offer me anything real as to their origin or where he got them from. (BTW, if you ever go to Zanzibar, this place is a collectors dream!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
