    Is this the Corona Mill?

    Yep, as others have already indicated, that's a Corona-type mill. If you use eBay and are patient, you can usually find one for around that price with shipping in a week or so.

    1-Gallon Brewers UNITE!

    Bottling bucket gravity read?

    Since gravity is measuring the disolved solids, unless you have introduced more material to change the ratio then the reading should be the same in the bucket, a test cylinder, a vat, or a lake of beer. Check your methods, look for bubbles clinging to the hydrometer, check for carbonation, etc...
