Ive been off the board for some time ( but an an original member from when it started). The lady's auction is an entertaining read. Its a sign of the times. Alternate facts are in fashion. real knowledge would just get in the way.

1-7/16" by 2-5/8” would be correct dimensions but this one is off by 1/16"
