The old coffee grinder is un-marked & when I got it a swivel cover for the top front that broke & gone. The level is marked "Rabone Chesterman", 3 inverted V's, "1626"(not a date) & "Made in England".
Quick look at ebay shows the level as virtually worthless, but I still use it when I can't reach my other one so it is worth something to me.

nice -- i love my coffee and i love the old coffee mills as i have so many from the midwest -- stick my nose into the china cabinet and just take a deep breath -- glad you liked our singer sewing machine cabinet -- have been doing some research on vaseline glass that is most interesting -- been on the internet today to learn what is what --
Last time I took it apart(20 yrs ago) it still worked & the pin could be removed for adjusting. If you are around SXM, I'll give it to you. I went thru open-heart 2 yrs ago & dumping stuff on people who would appreciate them rather than they later disappear into the shadows to people who don't care about them.
I'll keep the level as I still use it. Don't drink coffee.
