It measures approx: 11,2 cmBase width; 5,5 cmWidth at the mouth: 10cmIts in remarkable condition for a card / paper item from 1914 - 15, aside from a piece of medical sticky tape top leftand a couple of minute pin-holes!!Kevin in Deva.

Guest Rick Research Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I would NOT recommend "trying it out," though!
Naxos Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Would be quite a conversational piece around the water fountain.Hardy
