Flea market finds, ufos...

[yaxthri]

I bought these "Unidentified Found Objects" on one of my flea market "excursions", they were more or less among other "trash" inside boxes with jewelry, beads etc. the large one with the fisherman's head I think is a button, the rest are a mystery to me...



Does anyone have any ideas on one or more of these? Better pics will follow if needed.

Can you scan both character pieces on the bottom so I can read the words?

Scanning was not really that efficient...


so I took some photos.
I think it's French I can read on the side with the Madonna something like " philo(?) mere ...ez(?) pour nous"
The text is partially worn down so... take a shot! Be my guest.

Thanks to your reply Dylan and the photos I had to take I managed to decipher the inscriptions myself :-)

It reads "Ste Philomene priez pour nous" on one side and "(St) Jean Vianney Cure d' ars" on the other.

So this is a Catholic religious mini medallion.
I think it is silver but it has no markings. I found similar things on the internet but none same.

Anybody have any ideas on it's age?
