Enterprise No 105 Restoration Project

We just finished up a total restoration project for a Gentlemen in Florida (named Lee) on his Enterprise No 105 Antique Coffee Mill that was used by the US Military back in 1898. The Mill's base was stamped with "U.S. Q-M D." (United States Quarter Master's Division). The rare and unique Mill is a great piece of American history.

The restoration project started in January after the holidays and was finished up at the end of February. The Mill came from an estate sale of a Gentlemen that collected Military historical pieces in California. The Mill was manufactured by Enterprise around 1898, the same time the United States was involved in the Spanish-American War. We suspect the Mill was used to grind coffee for soldiers at a Fort on the West or East coast.

We completed a total restoration project on this Mill and brought it back to the original design intent including painting the same colors, all the accents and details. This is truly a treasure and exceptional antique coffee mill.

We truly enjoyed working with Lee on this project !!
