G'day Sheldon,

Back in May you sang the praises of a "professional" pepper mill based
on a Greek coffee mill.

At USD70 (>AUD90) I'm not sure if I actually want to buy one, but I
would like to check the thing out, so have been trying to convince the
local hardware/kitchenware places to stock one. :-)

Unfortunately, the web page given by M. FERRANTE earlier in the thread
does not give much detail apart from the retail price etc. See:
<http://www.chefscatalog.
com/(grbdlw55v4oti355hdkvgx2f)/catalog/product.
aspx?scommand=search&search=pepper%2bmills&item=93 860>

Oh, gawd... Try: <http://tinyurl.com/78lw6>

Do you have any detail about the manufacturer that would help someone
in Oz track the thing down, please? Even just the name might help.

Thanks for your trouble.

Addendum: When I mentioned your original description of this product
to one of the local specialist houseware places, she immediately
thought of "Sheldon", which seems to be an Australian manufacturer or
distributor of such items. Out of curiosity, I googled for "sheldon
houseware site:.au" and came up with the following link to a legal
squabble between our Sheldon and your Metrokane over a bloody
corkscrew handle! The Court dismissed the claim and counter-claim. :-)

Cheers, Phred.
