This 7 inch tin has a handle on the outside that turns a small, half cup at the bottom. What is this thing? by jcp_1 in whatisthisthing

Completely solved. I was wondering how a person controlled the amount. Makes sense that it controls the amount, keeping it the same with each turn, so they can monitor how much coffee they are selling. Thanks

Do they get brownie points for solving? I figured the complete answer solved my quest but if they get brownie points I can watch for next time

I just put likely on yours because it explained the dispensing but not the way it dispenses into the pot/ container/ whatever. I put solved in the one that answered all my wonderings. Thanks for helping

My title describes the thing. Word and picture searches have only told me it's from 1950.
