Huntley Mfg. Co. Monitor Coffee Grinding and Blending Machinery — Brocton Era Catalog
The Monitor Coffee Grinding and Blending Machinery catalog from the Huntley Mfg. Company — Brocton-period, with the “Formerly at Silver Creek” notation on the cover — arrived from Illinois seller koffsky. The white cover leads with a halftone aerial view of the Brocton plant, then the Monitor script trademark, the title “Coffee Grinding and Blending Machinery” in red italic type, and the full imprint: “Manufactured by / HUNTLEY MFG. CO. / BROCTON, N.Y., U.S.A. / (Formerly at Silver Creek)” with the Canadian factory at Tillsonburg, Ontario listed below.
This is the grinding and blending catalog — the machinery documentation for the production step that followed roasting in H and H’s workflow. H and H’s retail labels carried three primary grind designations: Steel Cut, Regular Grind, and Drip Grind, each corresponding to a different granule size and particle consistency. The Monitor Coffee Grinding and Blending Machinery catalog covers the equipment that produced those distinctions. Together with the roasting catalogs already in the collection — Catalog No. 66 (HH-BOOK-2026-0017) and the supplementary Catalog No. 64 series (HH-BOOK-2026-0019) — this catalog completes the Monitor equipment documentation across the full roast → grind → blend production sequence H and H ran at both the 331 Burnett Street and 601 Delaware Street plants. The Brocton factory aerial on the cover is also a primary visual record of the Huntley plant as it operated during H and H’s active procurement relationship with the manufacturer.
