It is a tad over 3/4" in width.

Wonderful shape with the exception of ONE of the connectors showing some finish wear. View last photo. No big deal and it is hard to notice when worn because the gold tone finish is so shiny. Signed on the back. No wear to backing on either piece.

TESTED. I do not sell fake-a-lite.
