The handle is attached to a sheet iron hopper triangular in shape with a sheet iron lid.  The mill body is cast iron and is circular with two flanges on sides for mounting screws (it was wall mounted). The exit shoot out the bottom for finished product to fall out. On the inside of the hopper is a rectangular hole through which coffee beans can pass.  The rectangle hopper lid is missing.
