It is 2 3/4 inches from the bottom to the peak of the "roof" and 3 1/4 inches from the bottom to the top of the brass sleeve that holds the burner. It is currently fitted with an old burner, undoubtedly not the original, whose knob is embossed with the maker's name which appears to be P & A Hornet.
