German Wehrmacht Black Bakelite Coffee Grinder Mint Condition Single BO Garantie Stamp.
Black bakelite is the second in "range of hardness" to find colours. First is light brown, third green and then chocolate brown and the common to find reddish bakelite. Mint condition without cracks. In this one there are traces of coffee... or something still inside, it doesn´t smell to coffee, it doesn´t smell to anything, too old for smell I guess.

The link below is a complete study about these grinders, but it is in German and it has some contradictions on it, also it is really tought to read, so the final conclusion is that the Tramp grinders already existed in 1938, (Brand was founded in 1923), they were known and used in Germany, they were civilian stuff and NOT a Wehrmacht issue to the Troops, but many Soldiers used them as they used all kind of civilian stuff.
