Primus no1120 coffee roaster.

Can anyone tell me how old and what this is worth? Thanks in advance.

 

I just took a quick look through the Primus catalogues in the Reference Library and the 1120 coffee roaster shows up in those from the 1920s and 1930s. If you become a member you can peruse them yourself and compare yours to the illustrations in the catalogues to nail down the age a little further. As for valuation it's hard to say because they come up for sale so rarely. Condition is also an issue. Can you post some photos?

View attachment 255201 Thanks for the quick response. Having some internet issues here. Its a little dirty but otherwise no dents.

 

sorry for the multiple pics. My internet keeps cutting in and out.

 

Wow that's a really nice one! I'd say it's from the 1920's. Here's a couple of examples from the Reference Gallery:

From a 1920 Primus catalogue

From a 1929 French Primus catalogue

Cool. Thanks so much for taking the time to look this up. Trying to help my cousin sell some things from an estate sale from her mother in law.

 

I'm interested in buying it so let me know when and where you put it up for sale.
