It looks pretty old and it says special canister on it. (it has a bunch of pictures of what looks like spanish coins on it)
you could try asking a local antique dealer who has a good rep and they could tell you.
Ian grabbed a hold of the empty coffee canister and had some fun. And yes, gravity is still working.
To enjoy the best coffee you ever tasted you have to follow a few easy steps: Place grinded coffee in the glass and pour water in the kettle ...
Here is an update on some of our People-Centered Development work in the coffee lands:
Peru – We are working hard with both our partners in Peru, Pangoa and Oro Verde. In Pangoa, our Restoring the Sacred project keeps growing, having reforested with local trees and local knowledge a large part of the deforested sacred lands of the Ashaninkas peoples. Our Women’s Loan Fund continues to offer the only credit available to coop women, and our latrine program (with our logo on the doors! Talk about off the wall marketing!) continues to, uhh, blossom. Additionally, we have supported the travels of General Manager Esperanza Castillo to international events so that she can tell the story of women in coffee to the world. Powerful stuff.
Colombia – In Colombia we have dedicated our program to supporting indigenous self-determination and the maintenance of sacred knowledge.
For generations, people have been searching for the best way to store coffee. Today, more than 90,000 Internet searches for “coffee storage” occur every month in an effort to identify how to keep coffee fresh.
“The age-old problem is coffee storage, and there’s never been a greater need than now to solve the mystery of how to keep coffee fresh,” said Arthur Wing, President of Wing Enterprises, owner of Friis, Inc. “In the U.S. alone, 4 out of 5 Americans drink coffee and 75% of total cups of coffee consumed are home brewed. The Friis Coffee Savor is ideal for home use, keeping coffee beans and grounds fresh longer.”
A silicone band, complete with a scoop fixing, is placed around your coffee canister. In reality it may be a “posh” elastic band but they say that the simple ideas are always the best and this would seem to fall directly into that category.
The scoop itself is manufactured in Zack’s trademark 18/10 stainless steel with a brushed finish. It has a standard 7.5g capacity and the whole thing even comes gift boxed. A great and slightly unusual gift idea!

Okay, for grinding filthy coffee for dribble, French reporters (?), or percolator coffee makers, this is a catchy darn special-occasion grinder. I've had mine for years, it is to some degree hush (more so than cheaper Krups or Melitta grinders), and does not get hot. The well and the top are friendly enoug to uncomplicated out, and the healthy fettle makes it moderate to convoke on the bar. Of orbit, the rope wrap storage in the root is a must-have, makes storing in the tallboy a cinch. It has a virtue cover rod so you don't harry off fingers, but there's a inconsequential detriment. The top is disk-shaped, to that of my old predictable Braun grinder, so you may have to retail the top to contract for up the cover birch. I've gotten toughened to this and it presents no conundrum. (The Braun has a monotonous facet on the top where the divert is, so you cannot advert the top without lining it up above-board, and the exchange is automagically lined up.)

with driftwood handle on lid, this one is sized to hold just a little more than a 11-13 ounce can of ground coffee. Finished in ash glaze.
