Precision Scale #39063 Early Alco Stanchion. How tall is it?

[shellfish]

Looking at their catalog Precision Scale offers an early Alco handrail stanchion that looks short to me.
Does any one here have one of these they can measure for me to see how tall it stands?  Thanks!

I called Precision Scale and asked them my question. They stated the stanchion is 36 inches scale or 0.413 straight measurement.
