9 1/2" tall, 9" wide, 8" blade, 4 1/4" base diameter
The original electric cord is 4 foot 7 inches long.
Condition:
One of the blades has a small nick.
The case iron shows normal wear for the age, but with no signs of rust.
The cord cloth covering is frayed in places, but with no exposed wiring.
The metal wired covering does not offer any protection from the spinning blade. Safety clearly wasn't a consideration back when it was made.
