Assistance with identifying silver religious items

I have dug around and tried to figure out what these things are. I was able to identify 1 of the items (the first photo) as a holy oil bulb tube, it is a 3 part piece. (will call this item 1)

I am not quite sure what the double lidded one is with a cross on top (item 2), nor the flat pendant style one with a inner lid/cover for some purpose (item 3).

The cross one measures a little over 1" across and about 2 1/2" high (item 2). The flat bit measures about 2 3/8" across, 3 3/8" high with the finial thing and about 3/8" deep (item 3).

I have a silver plate egg looking thing that unscrews which I believe is religious ass well (item 4). It measures about 2 1/2" high and about 1 3/4" at its widest point.

On a side note - non-religious, I also have this cast bit that looks like a trophy topper but is testing as silver, rough rough... not sure what the heck that is either. I really just assumed it to be the top of an old trophy missing its pedestal (item 5). Measures about4 5/8" high. The base is like 1 3/4" wide/

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The "egg cooking thing" (cannot figure why you think that) is probably to carry the host to a home visit.

 

The flat thing could be to hold a host to take to someone who couldn’t get to a church, maybe someone sick.

 

The stacked item holds oils for last rites.
Here is a similar one with a good explanation, stated under "item details"

The host holder thing could be for last rights also.

oops...I can understand why, I think I meant to say the "egg looking thing"....

What is a host? I have to be honest here, I really have no idea what these things are/were etc. It was a "silver" lot (I can't recall if they said anything about plated) and all I was bidding on was the art deco Cartier cigarette case.

 

Ohhh that is good information

 

By golly, I am thinking that is what that flat looking thing is! Sweet!

where's that at ?

 

The "host" is the name for the round wafer used in Catholic communion, it represents the body of Christ. At least that's my recollection from my Catholic childhood!

Also, I don't think the 'egg' thing belongs with this Catholic stuff. It looks like India-made to me

 

Yes, that is true. Before Mass it is a wheat wafer, during the consecration the host is blessed and "Catholics believe that the bread and wine become the body and blood, soul and divinity of Christ."

Ohhhh... I wasn't gonna post it. Thing is in pretty rough shape...

I found one like it that was cased, but darn if after I bought it I could find the listing... how it always works and I forget to save links when researching.

 

Nice little case! I don't know much about Catholic religious items, heathen Baptist that I am, but the egg is definitely Indian. Might have been in someone's Easter basket though.

 

other than the end of the siggy holder bar looking like t's been cut short....
I don't see enuf rough shape to dissuade going after it !!
sure it was we used.....but...

 

I noted that as well. It is just so hard to see imperfections in stuff with photographs. I'll be trying to sell it relatively cheap. I haven't quite decided what price to put on it, but my goal is to move it out fast before the new year.
