Zassenhaus Brillant 531 grinder 1950 Germany

Here is a beautiful shaped and rare variant of the Zassenhaus “Brilliant” 531 coffee bean grinder from the 1950’s. It is clearly marked on the bottom, this is the one with knob on the drawer. Still very usable today and Zassenhaus still produces hand grinders, just not this beautiful. It does show some signs of age and use to the wood, but the chromium top is great with only minimal pitting in the chrome. The aluminum handle is great as well. This specimen is completely unrestored, just polished up and ready to use. It is working well and ready to use (little clean is always wise).
