It is 8" across. I posted wrong pic but cannot change it now. this was a pic before we cleaned them up a bit. they cleaned up nicely very little rust around edges is all the damage i see. the one in the picture has just aquired a bit of dust over the last 60+ years. haha

For future references, you might not want to clean any other vintage piece you get as your hiding the true age of the item and decreasing the value. People like the old look and if it's been cleaned they start thinking (reproduction).

we did not use cleaner or scrub it just wiped off the dirt where as it had been sitting in a barn probably over 50 years. it can be cleaned more i will leave that up to the winner. if the winner prefers one that has not been cleaned i can send one of those as is in this pic.
