The grinder attachment measures 4 inches long (handle included in measures) x 2.5 inches wide (Outer Diameter of threaded piece) x 2.9 inches tall. The clear Hazel Atlas jar measures 2.6 inches in diameter x 2.8 inches tall. The entire apparatus is 5.5 inches high and weighs 8.3 ounces. With the patented design and vintage appeal, this unique kitchen gadget is a charming addition to any collection or modern kitchen.

Seller has removed much of the nut oil residue which previously covered the grinder, but some small bits still remain.
