Available in this lot is a Primitive Grain Mill. The Base and Table of this mill are constructed of solid wood, while the rolling pin is wood with an iron rod running through. The table would have functioned with ease by simply filling with grain and mashing with the roller. Before electricity, mills were operated via hand crank, horse mill, or even water or windmill - This table which was operated purely off the efforts of its worker, shows many hard hours of labor. This simple device is believed to be a smaller home used item, appearing to date to the early to mid 19th Century. The table is sturdy and displays good condition, but also shows obvious age. The table measures 26" at the widest, 34 1/4" tall, and 45 1/4" long.
