This listing is for a Vintage 1960s Mid Century Danish Modern Dansk Jens Quistgaard "Rare Woods" # 898 "Totem" Shaped Peppermill / Salt Shaker Combo.  It is made of Brazilian Rosewood / Palisander.  It has the all-metal "Peugeot Freres Lion France" grinder and "DENMARK JHQ" stamped in the wood (photos 7-9).  Round cylindrical top and square base.  The "Ears" at the top are NOT removable.  This mill was made with the frustrating "tooth-fill" mechanism and I didn't attempt to open it.  There is still some salt and pepper inside.  It works and grinds perfectly.  

     *You can see what the "tooth-fill" mechanism looks like if you go to the quistgaardpepper.com website in the "rare woods" section.  

     It is in great condition overall with no breaks, splits, or repairs.  A couple small dents and minor signs of use, not bad (photos 22-24), are the worst.  No other issues.  It works smoothly and grinds well.  Nice patina to wood.  Looks very clean.  Please view photos carefully as they are my main description.  *(White spots in pictures are glare / lighting from photos and not actually on the item).

     It will be securely packaged. 

     It measures 6 3/16" (15.7 cm) tall and 2 3/8" (6 cm) across sides of square base.
