This vintage countertop nut or spice grinder features a cylindrical metal body with a manual hand crank and a side-mounted discharge chute. The piece is constructed from a heavy cast metal, likely aluminum or a similar alloy, and stands on a flared circular base for stability. A knurled screw top allows for adjustment of the grinding mechanism.
Condition
Functional vintage condition showing heavy surface wear, oxidation, and discoloration consistent with kitchen use. The metal finish shows significant scuffing and pitting, particularly around the chute. Mechanical crank appears intact, though internal cleaning is recommended.
