    Description

    NOTE: THIS ITEM IS LISTED IN THE CATEGORY ANTIQUE COFFEE GRINDERS, WHICH IT IS, AND SINCE THAT’S WHERE I FOUND SIMILAR ITEMS,. BUT IT HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A WORKING LAMP.
    This lamp was bought in New York in the early 1960’s and that’s about all I know about its history and provenance.
    According to research on the internet, it was made (as a coffee grinder) in late the 1800’s-early 1900’s.
    The letters around the circular part of the wheel say:
    H. S. Swift Mill Lane Brothers
    I took 2 photos of that, but it’s hard to read because the letters are painted black on a black background.
    I believe this is the original paint, it hasn’t been re-painted or restored as far as I know, other than having been converted into a lamp.
    Approximate Dimensions:
    Wheel Diameter                            14 ½ inches
    Height with shade                         32 inches
    Height of original grinder,
    to base of light fixture                    21 inches
    Mounted on heavy wooden base: 9 ½  x 12 inches
    Shade included, although dented as shown in photo.
    Could probably be un-lamped and restored to use as grinder again.
    Sold as is. All attempts have been made to describe this item as accurately as possible. If you have questions, email me. If you have doubts, please don’t buy.
