✅ SOLVED Wagon part? Handle crank?

[robertk]

I found this at an 1800s homestead site and wondered if someone knows what it is. It is fairly small, only about 6" long or so. When I look at it, it reminds me of a steering component like you might see on the front end of a car, but it doesn't seem big enough for that, or really for a wagon either. I guess it could be a handle crank for something? Any thoughts? Here it is from top, bottom, and both sides.

Yes... it is a handle / crank arm.
Possible coffee or pepper grinder arm.

Good ID ARC
We used one exactly like as the example growing up.
Not a everyday use-just if coffee was bought in bean and the store grinder was broke, or we forgot to grind it.
Then it become a task for us young one's to crank out the coffee.

Neat find! It would be a coffee grinder. There were two types, table type or wall mount. Both had the same style crank.

I wound up buying the one that @ARC linked to when they put it on sale. It's match alright. More info and a photo here if you're interested.
