I have three JHQ mills in my collection which have very distinctive caps - instead of the wood cap with a cork glued on below, these are turned from a single piece of wood, the interior carved out to make them lightweight - almost thimble like. I have yet to encounter any mention of these caps, though I am sure that they have to be quite 'early;]' and rare - just way too difficult to produce for mass production, though just the kind of wild detail which Quistgaard would have loved. Anyone got any info?? Hi Anybody . . . first post!

I purchased a Nissen ice bucket today at a thrift store for $3. It is very heavy and the wood is very dark. If I had to bet on it, I'd say it is made of wenge. The "handles" on the lid remind me of the holes in a bowling ball only there are 4 holes instead of 3. The "handles" on the sides are also round holes. Is it possible for me to post a photo? Hello.
