help Identifying a coffee collectible?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Coffee Related Buy/Sell/Trade : One Thread |
I realize this is basically an old retail coffee store product display fixture. And I assume it was used to dispense coffee (several decades ago). Would it be an antique?I am additionally interested if there is more to tell about such an item... Is it considered a collectible that I should hold on to for another couple of decades?
I wonder if these things had an actual name for these types of German canisters. I would like to find any information regarding their use and history. Here is a URL to a picture of one of them:

I have a glass jar which is turned upside down and screwed into a metal dispenser. Fill jar with coffee screw on dispenser turn upside down. Hang on the wall and when you want coffee you slide the knob to the right for 1 tablespoon - slide back to the left and another tablespoon. This unit has not markings on it as to a brand name or serial number.I am looking to see if I can find a brand name or some information on this item.
