[QUOTE="Keith034, post: 4354675, member: 33710"]Hello all. I’ve been posting here and there around the board as I clean out my mother’s attic after her passing. This thread contains the really odd ends found therein. I don’t expect I’ll find an expert offhand, but even a suggestion as to where to find more information would be deeply appreciated… Sick Call Kit - Made for a Roman Catholic priest to perform the sacrament of “Extreme Unction.” I have no idea how to date or value this, nor do I know why my mother had it: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/YuylKPs.jpg[/IMG] [img]https://i.imgur.com/xWeiCXI.jpg[/img] Boo-Boo Bunny - I didn’t even know what this was until I read the paper folded up inside of it. Not sure if this is early production or an at-home craft project. These are still made and sold, but historical information has been elusive.
