Item specifics
Condition: UsedType: HERB AND Spice Grinders
Brand: HSS MADDOCK'S SONS COMaterial: MARBLE?
Color: White  

My Father graduated from "THE PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF PHARMACY & SCIENCE" in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1939. In the 1950's, he bought this Mortar & Pestle for my Mother because he thought she might be able to use it in her cooking for grinding herbs.  She never used it. (And the funny story was that we all thought he was trying to get her to be a bit more inventive in her spicing of foods, but my Mother was a Taurus-it did not work!!!   LOL!!!)

She was a good Italian cook but just kept cooking as her Mother did!!


I always kept it as a funny remembrance; but now I am downsizing and maybe an inventive cook would love to have it.

They are in very good condition with a few light marks..  Under the Bowl are the words :

      "MADE IN US      HSS(?) MADDOCK'S SONS CO    TRENTON, NJ    1/0"
                         "WARRANTED       T.M.S. CO.    ACID PROOF"
                  There is a LOGO of an  ANCHOR AND ROPE

The Bowl is 4-1/2 inches across the top; 2-1/2 inches high; and the base is  3 inches in diameter. The Grinder is 6-1/2 inches long.   They weigh 1 pound 13 ounces.
 
I have no written proof of the type of material it is made from; but I believe it is MARBLE.

Useful and decorative!!!

****Will ship outside U.S.A; please contact me for shipping fees before bidding. All shipments outside the U.S.A. are required to have an additional fee of $1.10 for a "CERTIFICATE OF MAILING" to be issued by the Post Office for "First Class Mail International" only.  I feel that it may give a bit more security to an uninsured shipping method.

International Buyers – Please Note:

·         Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·         Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Since I have had a few more non-paying bidders lately, I must request that you have your payment in order so that you can pay for my items within the requested 5 days. After 5 days of Auction end and still NO PAYMENT, I must file an "UNPAID ITEM DISPUTE" so that I will not be charged by E-Bay for a "Final Value Fee".  Thank you for your understanding!
