Gilley urn with borrowed base

This version of the Gilley urn lost its base before it got to me so I have placed it on a base that came with a coffee pot (see coffee pots photo.) The urn appears to have been made with both an all ceramic lid as well as a brass lid with a black knob (and perhaps other variations.) It is marked:

GILLEY INC.
FC-76
NEW YORK NY.

Average:

Looks great.

Earl, don't fret. I can show you an archival photo of a coffee urn sitting on this same base. It's actually part of a different line, the name of which still is unknown to me. The thing I find a mystery is the top you have on the urn. Have never seen a photo with one of those ceramic tops before.
