There's a maker's mark on an exterior side of one of the cathodes, but I can't make it out. If you enlarge the last photograph, you can see it, and perhaps you'll have better luck than I've had when it comes to identifying the manufacturer. There are also a series of numbers molded into the underside of the glass base. Those too are visible in the photographs.

Stands 8" tall with the center pole collapsed, 11" high with the anode fully raised.

The electrodes and top will of course be removed and padded prior to shipping to prevent them from breaking free and damaging the glass jar.

Shipping weight for everything, properly packed, will be approximately 7 lb.
