5 out of 5 starsIt's much smaller than I pictured in my head, but that's my fault. It will still make a lovely gift for my Catholic coworker!

Frequently asked questions
Do you combine shipping costs?
Always! Single domestic orders over $35 within the USA ship free of charge, while smaller orders have nominal shipping costs accurately calculated by the cart.
What is the size of this item?
Clear measurements are included with every description and in most titles, but we are always happy to convert standard to metric for you, and metric to standard. Just ask!
What exactly is considered "vintage"?
Vintage (pre-2004) and antique (pre-1940) items will be stated in the title. Much of what we sell was found in old shops or foundries, almost always in multiples and usually discovered in the original packaging materials.
If an item is a new supply, it will be stated as such.
Why does this "old" medal or charm look new?
Unless otherwise stated, most of our religious medals are old unsold shop stock.
Most of the aluminum pieces we offer for sale are extremely vintage, even antique. Some bear the original foundry markings, and most have come from Europe.
Due to the complexities of refining aluminum from ore, aluminum was considered more valuable than gold or silver through most of the 1800s. In the early 1900s the refinement was simplified, and aluminum became an inexpensive material. In the religious world, this meant that small devotionals were obtainable by anyone, even if they could not afford precious metals.
DISCLAIMER: These items are NOT intended for use by children.
Intended solely for collecting and crafting, many of these vintage items have very small or potentially brittle parts, and were manufactured in an era before modern child safety laws existed. Please exercise common sense and caution, always supervise children and vulnerable adults with both small and breakable items.
Likewise, flammable items such as incense are to be used only as intended, under constant supervision.
Do you offer local pick up?
No, we don't have a brick and mortar shop, and do not offer local pick up.
What countries do you ship to?
Currently, we ship to: USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Sweden and Switzerland.
Do you accept cancelations?
We do NOT accept cancelations. We pack and ship very fast, often within a few hours or same day.
Do you accept returns?
No, all sales are final. Please do feel free to reach out and ask any and all questions about items, prior to making a purchase. We encourage and support everyone to be an informed buyer.
