Measures 7 3/4" Overall open. Bottom Bolster is marked "SPRINGER" and "D.R.G.M." (From 1891 to 1952, products manufactured in Germany might have been stamped with this D.R.G.M. designation, if the manufacturer opted not to pay the outrageous patent fees that Germany was charging, (36 times the American price for a patent), but instead chose to copyright their product’s design. This copyright was initially for a period of 3 years, with an option to extend it for another 3. This gave the copyright owner a maximum of 6 years protection.)
