This was my Mother's....she marked it on the bottom that she bought it in 1950 saying it was very old....there is a little flaking that is apparent in the photos...the rest appears solid...the black on the bottom was professionally touched up....please look at all the photos as they are part of the description...my Mom's solid wire is still on the back attached to the handles as she hung it on a wall....it measures 20 inches long including handles...15 inches top to bottom and 3 3/4 inches high without the handles...thank you for looking
