The image features a vintage wall-mounted hand-crank coffee grinder on a rectangular piece of wood. The grinder is metallic with a funnel-shaped component leading into a circular casing with a crank handle. The dominant colors are muted metallic grey for the grinder, light brown for the wooden base, and darker wood for the handle. The wooden block holds the grinder on the left with the crank handle extending to the right and curling downwards. In the bottom right, the signature "Frank H. Bader" is visible.
