riverside1.jpg (31204 bytes)The Riverside #7 Size Double Wheel Coffee Mill  This is a very rare coffee mill that is in super condition.  McMillan barely makes mention of it in his exhaustive book on the subject of coffee mills, and there is not one pictured.   From the construction details it appears that Enterprise may have made it, but  the wheels, which measure about 17" in diameter, are a completely different casting.  It is marked "Riverside Manufacturing Co. New York Trojan" in bold letters.  It retains 90% or more of the deep red finish, and the paint on the wheels is dirty but still near perfect.  This unusual coffee grinder is far rarer than any Enterprise or Parker coffee mill in the same size or configuration and it will be a long time before you will ever see another in anything close to as nice condition.

Enterprise 
#1 Coffee MillEnterprise #1 Coffee Mill  This model is often referred to as Enterprise's first model coffee mill.  It is marked  #1 in the casting below the hopper.  These early versions never had a lid for the hopper and there is no provision for one, and so this is correct as presented.   There is no casting damage, and the guts are present and operational.  The drawer front has been repainted, but the casting and overall condition is nice.  The black portions of the paint appear to have been enhanced  in some areas on this mill at some point, but there is lots of original paint left, and even some of the gold highlights and stripping on the base.

Enterprise 
#3 Coffee Mill#3 Enterprise Coffee Mill  This very nice condition coffee mill was made by the most famous maker of cast iron grinders and other cast iron kitchenware, The Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia PA..  It is in very nice overall condition and is all original.  The paint is good+ and just slightly faded as is often found.  There are lots of decals remaining with good color. The wooden drawer with the #3 is proper and original right up to the mouse chew on the back wall.  Seems they like coffee as well.  We used this mill to grind our coffee for about a year.  It works fine and grinds it as fine as one could want.  I think though we are going to go back to the electric one from the appliance store.  .  The wood base is nice and has a great patina.  One size bigger than the #2 these mills stand 14" tall and the wheel diameter is 12

Baby 
Enterprise #2 Coffee Mill / GrinderBaby Enterprise #2 Cast Iron  Coffee Mill / Grinder   This super original condition coffee grinder was made by the premier maker of such things, the Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia PA.  It is in very nice overall with bright colors and the paint being original, as are the decals.  The base and drawer are original and nice.  The decals on the body are original but somewhat worn and faded as can be expected.   There is a bit of coffee residue on the wheels and body as is often found, and we tend to leave them this way as it is true indication of the age and character of these fabulous devices from a time past.  You can buy #2 grinders pretty regularly, but not this earlier smaller size referred to as the "baby".  These models never had a top, and it is proper as shown.   This is an unusual opportunity to be able to buy one in this nice condition.  Very Nice!!

Enterprise 
#2 Coffee MillEnterprise #2 Coffee Mill  This #2 size coffee mill was made by the most famous maker of cast iron grinders and other cast iron kitchenware, The Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia PA.  It is in very nice overall condition and the paint is bright and decals are original and better than most.  The base is a replacement that I refinished.  The paint is good+ and just slightly faded as is often found.  There are lots of decals remaining with good color.  A couple of them do show wear, but overall they are very nice.  The cast iron drawer with the porcelain knob is proper and original.  This mill works fine and grinds, but there is a slight wobble to one wheel.  There are no casting breaks or cracks in it, it is just a little off balance.  Number 2 mills stand just over 12 inches tall and have 9" wheels.

Enterprise #2 Coffee Mill / GrinderEnterprise #2 Cast Iron  Coffee Mill / Grinder  This super original condition coffee grinder was made by the premier maker of such things, the Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia PA.  It is in super condition overall with the bright colors and all paint being original, as are the decals which are nicer than almost ever seen.  It appears to have been overcoated at one point with some sort of gloss, but this probably explains the exceptional condition, and is not a detraction or distraction.  The base and drawer are original and nice.  There is a small chip in the handle.  The decals on the body are original and as nice as one could want noting some small amount of fading.  There is a bit of coffee residue on the wheels and body as is often found, and we tend to leave them this way as it is true indication of the age and character of the fabulous devices from a time past.  You can buy these grinders pretty regularly, but not in this condition, and it is an unusual opportunity to be able to buy one in the nice condition.  Super!!
