There's one side which appears to have the word " Herr " on it. A pic of that side and the side to the left of or clockwise from that would be nice

Everything has worth!  
Did I miss it...or did you post the measurements?  If not, please post them!

Can't decipher much from your transcript, sorry ! Some incorrect letters etc. Can see the word " brought " or " bringing ". I'd say late 19th / early 20th and maybe a collection box or religious gift.

See if you can contact this person
