Description from Zophie App: This is an antique coffee grinder manufactured by Enterprise Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia, likely dating to the late 19th century around 1878 when the company patented several designs. The distinctive red-painted cast iron body with large wheel mechanism and wooden base drawer was designed for efficient home coffee grinding before pre-ground coffee became widely available. Antique coffee grinders like this Enterprise No. 5 model are highly valued by collectors of kitchen antiques and Americana. The mechanical functionality, decorative cast iron design, and connection to daily life in the Victorian era make these pieces particularly appealing to collectors of vintage kitchenware and those interested in the evolution of food preparation tools.
