What is a Charlotte mold and where can I find one?

I came across a recipe in a dessert cookbook that uses a Charlotte mold, and I have absolutely no idea what it is or where I might be able to buy one. Please help!

1. It is a ring...so you can line the edges with ladyfingers... You can use a springform pan too
2. Looks like Amazon has them. World Cuisine Charlotte Mold: The classic Charlotte Russe begins with a mold lined with sponge cake, ladyfingers or bread that's been buttered. The lined mold is then filled with layers of fruit and custard or whipped cream, then chilled before being unmolded. This 2-qt. tinned steel mold, with its 2 handles and slightly flared sides for easy unmolding, can also be heated in the oven for making a spiced apple charlotte. (Sku: #134833) w2
3. What are you making? I used a large bowl lined that with clear wrap and then laid out thin slices of jelly roll. Then I filled the whole thing with Bavarian cream and let it chill. After it chilled for several hours or overnight I would turn the whole thing over on a nice plate. To finish I brushed some melted apricot jam all over. It makes for a real impressive presentation. Decorate with some whip cream.
