A Collection of 20th Century Catholic Devotional Items, including Rosaries, Crucifixes, and Medals - A diverse collection of religious devotional items, primarily Catholic, dating from the 20th century to potentially the late 19th century. The lot comprises a collection of rosaries, including three full-length examples (one brass-toned, one grey/silver-toned bead, one blue crystal) and one shorter blue crystal rosary. Also present is a group of numerous crucifixes and crosses, several bearing ”INRI” markings. A collection of religious medals depicts various saints, the Virgin Mary (including Miraculous Medals and Sacred Heart imagery), and one oval medal featuring a man's bust. A prominent ornate gold-toned locket or reliquary box with a Madonna image is included, alongside several silver-toned chains, and two link bracelets, one featuring blue enamel. A small patriotic-themed pin is also noted. A clear glass box encloses a fabric piece with a standing female figure and text faintly visible as ”Rue de Bac 1830,” referencing the Miraculous Medal's origin. An oval framed item features a faded Madonna and Child print with a reverse inscription: ”Relic of Our Bl. Mother Foundress.”
