Charles Parker of Meridian Connecticut became a dominant name in coffee mill manufacturing during the 19th century. Originally Charles was under contract to Lewis & Holt Company in 1828. Lewis & Holt patnership dissolved in 1833, in 1834 it was bought out by Charles Parker. (His brother Edmund and Herman White obtained one of the earliest coffee mill patents in 1832) Parker & White and Holt & White coffee mills were produced in the mid 1830's. By the 1850 Parker Union Works & J&E Parker Union (J& E standing for Charles brother's John & Edmund) were well established manufactures of coffee mills along with related brands Parker Eagle and Parker Planters' Mills. Production of some (possibly all lines) continued into the early 1900s. (source reference Antique Coffee Grinders, M.L.White & J.A.Sivonda, 2001)
