Categories:
Lane Brothers is famous for their coffee grinders. This one is a larger size, measuring 20" Tall x 11" Wide plus 3" handle. Item in very good condition. Original box has been replaced by contemporary wooden box.
Beriah Swift invented and produced coffee grinders in the 1840s out of the Town of Washington in Dutchess County. His cousins, the Lane Brothers, greatly expanded the business and relocated to Poughkeepsie in 1882. The Lane brothers made many cast iron items, including boilers, and in 1901 they launched production of a steam-driven automobile.
DCHS is fortunate to have in its collections a near perfect Lane Brothers "Swift Mill" similar to this. For clarity, when DCHS accepts a collections item it is in perpetuity so we would never sell a collections item. Since DCHS already has a good example of the mill, we have allowed the donor to contribute this item to the auction.
VALUE $600
This lot can be previewed in person Wednesday - Saturday 10:00 am to 3:00 pm by appointment at DCHS, 6282 Route 9, Rhinebeck, NY 12572. If this item isn't for you, please consider becoming a member or making a donation to DCHS at https://dchsny.org/secure-pay/
All lots have a 1-year expiration date unless otherwise noted.
