Bakelite Travel Coffee Grinder tin Period German Mercedes Batschari cigarette

Period German Mercedes Batschari cigarette tin

Well used but still decent

The 1940's was a transitional period when everyone shifted from small frames to larger and larger frames

Overall decent condition but it does have issues: scratches

The wooden top piece was some chips to the yellow paint

Bakelite Travel Coffee Grinder tin Period German Mercedes Batschari cigaretteVery cool Bakelite grinder which is clearly intended to be something for travel or to take camping. This model seems to be understood to be post war but then again very little is known about the company from before the war. I am fairly familiar with their post war items and I do see a bit of a disconnect between this and the stuff I know they made after the war. The handle is removable and fits into the bottom collector side of the grinder. Nice piece
