  Awesome Pepper Mill Collection

  07.13.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Since I wrote the book Danish Pepper, I’ve been contacted by several collectors with great collections.  After the jump is one of the best I’ve seen.  It features a great variety of common and super rare mills, including one I’ve never seen before and one so rare I didn’t see it till after the book […]

  A big ending for an early Dansk mill auction on eBay yesterday. The mill pictured below sold for $340. It is a rare early pepper mill (no salt shaker) in great condition. The mill is very nice. It is old and thus not common, but I wouldn’t say it is one of the super rare […]

  Thai Mystery

  06.16.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  The grinder of this mill is a real mystery. The mill is one I have documented in my book, excellently illustrated by Robert Chipman, as I did not have this design in my collection. However, now that it is part of my collection, its provenance is somewhat in question. The plastic ring only says “Thailand”. […]
