There is an attached slot on one side of the stand for hanging pickle tongs. Although we are not including the tongs, they are inexpensively found in local antique malls and shops. The glass insert fits correctly into the stand and the silver lid fits appropriately on the insert.
Lid and insert appear to be original. You won't find a more spectacular pickle castor! The stand measures 15 1/2" high (at top of handle), the jar measure 5 1/4" tall and 4 3/8 in diameter.
