Hello ladies and gentlemen, I have a question on this particular item.  I have researched this coffee mill and have yet to find one on the internet that is identical to the one my Grandmother has.  She said she has had it for longer than she can recall.  The item is an upright coffee mill dating back before 1900.  Around 6 foot in height and weighs over 90 lbs.  It has Eglin National Coffee Mill on the outside of a large wheel.  It has the C. H. Woodruff Company on the back of the larger wheel.  This is the tricky part, all the other coffee mills have Woodruff and Edwards on the larger mill because they formed this company after 1900.  The mill I have only has C.H. Woodruff and Co. and are from 1889-1900.  I have read these early pieces of coffee mills are museum worthy for many collectors.  Any information would be great, thanks.
