<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 69716, member: 54"]A very similar mill is in the 1902 Sears catalog, but with black paper label above the drawer that reads "Imperial Mill." Don't have dimensions of yours so can't compare it to those in catalog that list box dimensions. I'd guess yours is ca. 1915 because the strap handle represents an improvement over most of those in the catalog which have no handles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a slam at you but most posters omit dimensions which are important to those who only want to hit the books once for an item and be done with it, they don't always have time to make a post just to beg the poster for dimensions then come back later to do some of the work over again. I suspect after a while those people will just ignore posts that leave out important information. Again, not criticizing you who I think may be new here-glad you came and thanks for the good photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
