This is a Vintage/Antique Coffee Grinder. It's a Crystal Arcade. I believe all parts on this are original and it's functional! The only thing I'm not sure is when this was released? Any information would be appreciated thanks!

Looks like a #2 model. They came out around 1915. However they didn't stamp the word arcade in the lid until model #25. Yours also has the plain catch glass. You have a model 25. Earlier mills were embossed on the handle flange. This one is the most common and was made around 1920.
It is not a crystal arcade it is an Arcade Crystal. Big difference if you want to research it.
I have model #3 grinder currently looking for the jars. Check out the link below. I found it to be the best for information about these wonderful grinders. Good luck!
