[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 9889371, member: 18081"]Hi all, this pick up was an odd one- I mistakenly thought when I won it at auction, that it was much smaller :shame:.

Of course, I have learnt to take these descriptions with a grain of salt. Now that I see that it's so large, I am confused by it! It is 10"W x 7"H.
