<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 400336, member: 5833"]I noticed that & wondered too. Maybe the base, which is different from the much thinner one on the specimen INH found, has been swapped out? The other thing I noticed is that the central wiring tube (is there a word for that part?) does not clear the base by very much at all at either end & OP mentions it all begins to come apart if the finial is removed. Piece is obviously rejiggered into something strictly decorative, and I think this part is now taller than it was originally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
