Incredible 130-Year-Old Coffee Grinder Restoration

This cast iron coffee grinder from the 1890s made by T.& C. Clark & co at Wolverhampton foundries. That needs to be restored to match the coffee roaster restoration that we did one month ago. It has been sitting in the same cupboard as The coffee roaster for the last 35 years.
T. & C. Clark & Company Limited, based at Shakespeare Foundry, was founded in 1795 by Thomas and Charles Clark, and grew to be one of the largest iron foundries in Wolverhampton.
They were from an old Wolverhampton family and became a large employer.
Charles Clerk became mayor of Wolverhampton in 1860 after being a member of the Corporation since its formation as a municipal body.
He became a Councillor, Alderman, and later Chief Magistrate.
be sure to check out this antique coffee grinder . We'll show you how to take it apart, how to refinish it, and how to put it all back together so that it looks like new!

I think museums would be exceptionally better if there were more demonstrations of how things work. Even if I could sort out how something works myself, it’s still nice to see things in action.

Dude your missing part of your wedding band. You might want to take a moment and restore it.

[@richardrestorations]

Thanks for your feed back cheers Richard 😀

Since this is supposed to be a restoration for a museum, I’d duplicate the original finish (paint). Save the powder coating for kids toys, not “museum grade” restorations. Sorry, just my opinion.

[@richardrestorations]

Thanks for your feed back
Did you read the description
cheers Richard 😀

[@63DIRTY]

@@richardrestorations yes, I did read the description.
Again, powder coating wasn’t the Original finish, and to RESTORE something for a museum should include the original method of finishing otherwise it’s not a restoration, it’s an upgrade, something like filing cast marks etc. if it was sold with those imperfections they should be preserved as part of the Restoration.
