Description

The listing, VINTAGE LOT of Catholic Rosary Beads - Needs Repair; Very Old has ended.

Highest bidder will receive this lot of old vintage Catholic bead rosary's. They need some TLC and someone who knows how to repair items like these. They were my grandmothers collection which was always kept on her alter and blessed by Father Elias from Sacred Hearts Church in Waianae, Hawaii.

- The smaller brown seeded rosary has all 5 decades but needs to be linked together and have a crucifix added (2nd pic).
- The purple one is complete with all 5 decades and a crucifix but maybe needs the string updated (3rd rosary in 1st pic).
- The longer one which measures 23" or 46" unlinked has all 5 decades and a crucifix but needs to be linked at the medal (4th pic).
- The blue rosary also needs a crucifix added but is complete with all 5 decades.
- There's a red and white necklace that had a crucifix attached but doesn't look like the traditional 5 decade rosary so I don't know what it was for (5th necklace in 1st pic).


I will ship out within 72 hours of auction end. Thank you for looking and good luck, I hope someone can restore these.

I have one that looks like your 3rd picture, but mine has a small screw at the bottom and will open up, has a cotton like substance inside, I figured it was to drop Holy Water in to it, very unusual piece, any way like this auction, I will watch this one.

My grandma had a Crucifix like that but I think my Uncle has possession of it now. I didn't even look at this one to see if it had a compartment. Thank you for watching!

Hello, no I'm sorry I have no idea. The only distinct one is the longer brown rosary which looks like seeds to be honest, that's the best I can describe it.
