Our county museum has a large Parker coffee grinder that came out of a country store in this area, it is about 3 feet high and has a cast iron wheel about 24' in diameter. Nobody in the museum had a clue about what it was used for. I used to see Parker vises occasionally and the small coffee grinders. Apparently they were a big player in the hardware business.
