The town I live in has a pretty good sized Catholic population, or at least it used to so I pulled most of these down the street from the church. The crucifix was pulled from the Catholic grade school. I know I should have not cleaned it, but it makes a beautiful neckless for my daughter now. It's probably from the 30' or 40's by all the wheat penny's dates that came out around it. The medal is 1910 a Holy Name Society medal. The other silver medallion is a St. Christopher that I found in a park in WV. The oldest is probably the medal made from lead, pretty bad shape. The brass St. Christopher cross is from the 50's from the image son the back, bout, car, plane.
The large one is aluminum I think, very light. The home owner has lived at this particular site for 50+ years and doesn't recall anyone in her family that owned it. Hope you guys don't mind me posting this stuff, I'd rather be digging but its to dang cold right now! Any info on anything I show would greatly be appreciated.

What a nice assortment! W.J. Feeley & Co were in Providene R.I. from 1870 to 1920.
 

I Always enjoy finding the religious medals. Great variety of medals there
 

The cross you cleaned looks like it is bronze. I would have cleaned it too. Nice save. Gary
 

I always like adding another religious item to my display case. Very nice finds.
 

Nice religious medallions. Does the large one have any type of writing on it? It is possible that it could be French made, if so it's pre WWIi.
 

Nice finds, congrats!:occasion14:
 

It's been a while since i found a good Religious medallion that was not junk. Nice saves and don't sweat cleaning them. I think the cleaning thing goes for coins. Jewelry is fine.
