Measurement Notes
Height is with handle in upright position. Revere stamped on center upper surface of this handle.
Lab analysis in 1983 determined this is a problematic object. Silver content in the basket's side, foot, and handle: 95.2%, 95.95.6%, 94.8% with a gold content of 0.04-.05% so the silver is above sterling standard (perhaps recently pickled?)
