Vintage 1940s Nut Grinder without Cap

Wonderful old nut grinder circa the 1940s or 1950s. Is missing the little cap that the ground nuts would fall into but otherwise appears to be working. Should work equally well for harder spices like peppercorns. The grinder itself is operated via a turn key on the side of the id. Lid screws off easily to fill the glass jar. Marked on the bottom with a number 16. Could be Hazel Atlas but no other marks so unsure. Measures 5.5" tall by just over 3" at the widest. What a wonderful addition to a vintage kitchen!

Excellent vintage condition. Typical signs of age and life but appears to be serviceable still.

Please note that many of my items are vintage and/or made using vintage materials. I do my best to list any major issues but some signs of life and love are to be expected and only add to their charm.
