Small Silver.. Thing?
« on: October 02, 2013, 04:36:27 am »
Hi. I recently found this inside my other orniment that I am selling, along side with some very very old pins.

Anyone tell me about this? I think I could possibly be roman?

Bad quality I know. It basically is a man carrying a cloth and behind him is somebody else. It is almost north star shape. Nearly triangle.

I can't really make out the picture but could be a St. Christopher? Patron saint of travellers.

'Sterling Silver' That's the only thing on the back. I cannot find ANY more of these ANYWHERE. I'm starting to think I'm the only one who has such one?

If it's St. Christopher, then I can pretty much assure you that it's not unique. There have been approximately 18 zillion different versions made over the centuries. Sterling silver does give it some value though.

If what I see (or think I can) is a child on his shoulder, it's definitely a St. Christopher medallion.

Since it is marked Sterling I can assure you there are more out there !!  The shape does not make it unique !!  Value would be in the silver !!
