After looking at the pics again I'm wondering why the ring was hanging so low with the newer home made metal bracket in place. Wondering if that may have been why it would catch and not move. My bracket is bent upward almost following the curvature of the bowl. In any event, now that I can see the photos, it is a nice looking SS. Wish my blue would have come in such nice shape, but I'm sure I'll eventually find that gem like you have.
