<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 87523, member: 993&quot;]Hopefully, the pictures show what&#039;s up for give-away.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a miniature...measures about 4 inches by 2.5.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s in raggedy shape, and MISSING the clasp hinge-thingie.&nbsp;&nbsp; My eBay research tells me that much more pristine (and sometimes more ornate)&nbsp; examples (with clasp complete) are not getting bids at ten bucks or thereabouts.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It has little sentimental value for me... was found&nbsp; by a relative in the basement of an old house in Las Cruces, NM, home of St. James&#039; Episcopal Church.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#039;s a blurb from St. James&#039; website...</p><p><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &quot;St. James’ has a lengthy and rich history in the Mesilla Valley, as well as the state of New Mexico. Although records indicate that an Episcopal priest, the Rev. F. O. Barstow, working in Mesilla as early as 1871, was active in the community as a dentist, a priest, and a practicing Protestant; credit is given to the Rt. Rev. William Forbes Adams and the Rev. Henry Forrester as being responsible for the formation of the formal church in 1875.&quot;</b></p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I have no desire to haggle on eBay over a few dollars... neither would I ever trash it, so....</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Anybody want it?&nbsp;&nbsp; If there is more than one volunteer, I&#039;ll raffle it, say, on Friday?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
