I don't think I mentioned that this coffee grinder is only used as a ornament.

You kinda threw that sentiment out the window when you ordered x-ray fluorescence (XRF) to identify your alloy...

I happen to do low end work for a Geology Department that has high end analysis equipment.

LMAO! I was about to say "on a coffee grinder handle?"
Can I send you my old Stanley plane that I bought at auction (30 yrs ago) and the handlers dropped as they were handing it off and broke it at the throat?
At least it went from $36 to $1 in a blink of an eye, and I've been hauling it around ever since.

Threads smaller dia than standard plow bolt?
What I have learned about decorative machinery, there seems ot be no shortage of someone who wants to "give it a try"

Cheers

Old fashioned mild steel. This looks old. Silver solder should be fine. With small gaps, it is very strong.
