Been a while since I have looked at it, but on a guess probably 3/4" or a full 1"? Something like that. This particular mask and frame assembly was from an AXP that got turned into a picture frame, but I don't think they changed anything about its construction in later tubes. Don't remember where I read about it either, but I know that the lip in there is to prevent stray electrons from reaching the screen and lighting up any of the phosphor dots.
