This is the Coolest Thing Ever

Sometimes you get something and you don't know what to call it, but you just know that it's really cool. I don't know much about this piece other than that it's in amazing condition for its age and it's beautiful.



The rosary it comes with, is amazing all by itself. And the book has that great mix of red and black text that a friend of mine calls "Catholic Typesetting".





 An amazing find from Europe: this Dutch prayer book and rosary gift set is absolutely stunning and in perfect condition. I don't think the book has even been opened other than when I took the picture.

A picture is worth a thousand words which is why I took so many of this set. It simply must be seen to be believed. All the leather, from the book cover to the rosary case feels shiny and new. The rosary itself is a mother of pearl and silver rosary that is a find on its own. The prayer book is in Dutch and is entitled: "Salve Regina". Based on the date of the Imprimatur on the book, this set came from the 1920s. This book and rosary set is a special treasure from the past.
