Okay, it's been almost a week and I've gotten no response.  So I'll modify my request.  I'm looking for a chimney cap for a Schoenner overtype.  

Can someone please take some closeup photgraphs of one of these chimney caps with a ruler alongside?  With the scaled photographs I can make the drawings on AutoCad and have a replacement made.

Thanks much.

Hi,   I also need cap.  Hopes this helps But mine has incomplete stack with complete base of the cap.  Diameter is 32mm.  Would pay you if a second one could be made up.
 Bye the way mine has an unusal adjustment in shape of a wheel that I think adjusts the speed of engine.  Mounted along side the  gear for water pump and when wheel is turned puts pressure against the reciprocating valve arm.  If able to get a second cap please let me know.

Sorry took so long--Still having troubles with camera so enclosed image that was on ebay of mine.
No ruler in image but outside diameter of lower "cap" is 32mm(measured with guage) or 1 1/4inches-all of the 1/4 inch mark.

Hope it helps
