LARGE Vintage POLISH 800 Silver Virgin Mary Shield Religious Medal Wall Hanging Our Lady of Czestochowa





Large vintage shield featuring the Virgin Mary - or Our Lady of Czestochowa. I read somewhere some time ago that these may have been hung in the nursery. This wall hanging is beautiful- it measures approximately 2 & 1/2 inches tall. The back is hallmarked with Poland and the symbols for 800 silver in the right cartouche and an A in the left cartouche. It is likely this shield dates from the 1920s to early 1930s.

Here is a link to Polish silver hallmarks. http://www.925-1000.com/Fpoland_marks_1.html

Vintage Religious Catholic Rome Rosary Box Holder



Vintage religious metal rosary box with Rome on the front. The rosary box is in uncleaned, tarnished condition and measures approximately 1 & 3/4ths inches across. I believe this is made out of alpaca or nickle silver and has very little real silver content- but as it is unmarked I am not 100% sure.

Vintage Sterling Marcasite Our Lady of Guadalupe Small Pendant Charm Sized



Good condition vintage Our Lady of Guadalupe pendant or religious medal- there are no missing marcasites. The medal is marked sterling (but it is partially obscured or rubbed off) and also has another makers mark- that I can't make out (either the maker or possibly indicating that the insert with Our Lady is gold). The medal measures approximately 11/16ths inches tall without the bail. This is a lovely vintage medal that would be suitable to wear on a chain or on a charm bracelet. Please note the pendant is in tarnished, uncleaned condition.
