Bakelite Travel Coffee Grinder tin but the bottom of theVery 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
