Star Mill (Grain)
I copied this post from my Cracked corn post ---------------"Today at a auction I found a Good Working Star Mill from 1884 or the Pat, states 1884, But I can not find one or any info on it on the internet. It will grind corn to a rough feed-----finer than normal cracked corn ---guess you could regrind it a few times and get closer to cornmeal. It has a adjustment for fine/coarse, but I open it and took out a spacer/bushin and then it cracked corn real good. Its a hand operated mill with app 2 15" or so steel wheels--one one each side, weighs maybe 30 or so(guessing) pounds. I am thinking of petal power or a small gear reduction motor. Anyone familiar with this mill?"
Looks very close to this mill:
