  Crazy Mill Art

  12.10.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  There’s an auction right now for a JHQ mill that someone in Colorado decided to decorate.  That’s right, she took a wood burning tool to the mill and drew flowers, curly lines, and dots all over it.  Looks like she did a nice job, but why would she do this?  Does this increase the value?  […]

  Another Great Collection

  When frequent commenter and Peppermill Wiki owner Todd P moved into his new house, the first thing he did was unpack his collection in the perfect location.  He was kind enough to share a photo with us.  He has a cool collection, with quite a few rare Quistgaard pieces.  However, I think the Nissen and […]

  Pepper Mill Collections for Sale

  11.19.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’ve been noticing that there has been a few Dansk pepper mill collections going up on eBay recently.  There have been at least 3, maybe 4.  Some small, a few quite large.  All have been sold one mill at a time (smart). I’m wondering why this might be.  There are a few possibilities. 1.  The […]

  Dansk Auction Watch

  11.09.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  It’s been a while since I’ve posted on recent auctions.  There was a long time without much interesting happening over the summer, then a flurry of great auctions (not always mills) that I got a few good scores from, and then recently there’s been a few big, exciting auctions that have ended. A few recent […]

  Dansk Auction Watch Roundup

  09.02.08 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  There have been many exciting Danish Pepper eBay auctions to watch in the last month or so, and I’ll wrap up all the excitement in this post. This one sold for $203. While this isn’t an exorbitant price, it is a somewhat common mill. What drove the price up was that it is an older […]

  There’s a new posting on the “H is for Home” blog that focuses on collecting modern design salt and peppers.  They have some great photos of the different types of spice dispensers out there, as well as a mention of my book, Danish Pepper. It’s a great blog.  You can find the article here. Almost […]

  3 Mill Collections Right Now on eBay

  08.24.08 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  I just got back from a weekend of fun in sunny Santa Cruz, CA.  Swam in the ocean, saw a blue whale skeleton and live dolphins, watched my daughter ride the kiddie rides on the boardwalk, and had probably the best Chirashi sushi I’ve ever had.  But enough about me.  There are Dansk auctions to […]

  The Rolls Royce of Mills

  07.26.08 | Permalink | 11 Comments

  I don’t want this blog to turn out to be the Robb Report of Quistgaard eBay auctions. Pepper Mills for the Rich and Famous. Nothing like that. But I gotta include this one. I think it’s a record for a mill – at least that I’ve seen. Might even be close for a Dansk item, […]

  Pepper Mills for Sale

  07.19.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  I found a collection of Dansk mills being sold by the high end store Chez Camille in LA. Check it out: The collection consists of 23 mills and is being sold for $6,800 – which by my calculations is almost $300 per mill. Maybe if it included a copy of Danish Pepper one could justify […]
