<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 10033792, member: 23"]I have quite a few rosaries that I inherited from the aunts and my mother. All kinds of materials. This one is fairly plain compared to some. As Owned said, may be bog oak in which case it might have been brought back from some shrine. I have one that had water from Lourdes inside each bead, long since evaporated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Impossible to tell from the photos, but is there anything on the center metal piece? Usually it's an image of a Saint or the Sacred Heart or something else. If it's plain, that makes it seem more like an actual "working" rosary and not from a shrine. Brothers and Sisters used plain ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
