Antique 1884 Victorian Sterling Silver Pepper Mill / Grinder, Armorial London
ONE (1) Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Pepper Mill / Grinder. Hallmarks include: "W _" (Partial Makers Mark), Lion Passant (Sterling Silver), Leopard Head (London, England), I' (Year: 1884), Queen Victoria Bust (Duty Mark). There is an ornate armorial on one side (see photos, appears to be a Griffon standing on a knights helmet). Exterior is sterling silver, grinding mechanism is steel (which is typical). The main body (excluding handle) measures approx.

2-1/2" tall x 2" in diameter. This item is used & in good condition.

There is some light surface wear & some tarnish, it could use a polish & buff. Does appear to be in working order, put in black peppercorns - turn the handle & out comes ground pepper from the bottom. Which may have been added (partially covers a hallmark & there are a couple scratches around it). Not sure if it's possible to adjust the size of the pepper - bottom does not appear to adjust/move & didn't want to force anything.

This is the oldest pepper mill I have ever personally come across & considering that age 130+ years! It's in great shape. You can still use it today. Please see photos for more details.
