just won this in a lot along with a copper washing posser, a ceramic meat tray, and a cranberry glass oil lamp for less than the postage would cost. i'll drive to the auction house & pick it up tues. and take some better photos and measurements. found one which appears exactly like it here on the forum, screen capture attached as well. been a good easter.
