Is it dansk peppermill???  

I was about to forward you a link to the Todd Pederzani wiki page that provides the most complete online documentation of the Dansk peppermill designs. However, I should now say "used to provide", as that page in now blank. Too bad. It was a good online resource.

There are other makers that made teak peppermills in Denmark during that period, Jens Quistgaard at Dansk being the most prolific.

Not Dansk- but it has a Peugeot grinder mechanism and is extremely desirable to collectors.

Good to know it's not Dansk. Are there any research resources out there to help in finding out who the maker was?

There is the Danish Pepper book by Mark Perlson. I looked quickly and did not see this mill in it. Mark also has a site/blog both linked below with his contact info. He has also always been very responsive to me in the past-so you could try emailing him. Curious to know what he has to say.

Hi jesgord,
I found the danishpepper site too and also emailed via contact link to Mark. Good to know he is responsive. I'm really intrigued and will post an update when I found something out.
Thanks!

It looks like it got mixed up somewhere here.
Why not post an image of the underside of the pepper mill.

Actually this is early Dansk JHQ. Model 828.

My apologies for the incorrect information. Here is some info on Model 828 from the wayback machine. Odd that the wood top version is not credited to Dansk/Quistgaard but the metal top version is...

Thanks Gropius and jesgord for your insights and useful info. Appreciate your time and knowledge.

Just curious goodpix, what do you exactly mean when you said "not finding a match anywhere" when others was able to?
Not to pick on you or others that are new to these mcm designIDct thing but there is this old saying, look with your eyes and not with your lips (or in this case not with your fingers too).

So minimomoma I don't know why you want me to respond to your flip and arrogant responses to my request for information when I was not finding the info through my own searches. Others on this list were very helpful and I thanked them for their insights, knowledge, time and assistance.
