Question
Cross
Cross
My son in law came across this in an old trunk that was bought after the death of a nun. We know its old, can still see file marks but have no idea of age or even worth. We are christiams but not Catholic. Any help would be appreciated

Answer
Bob,
Thanks for your question. I cannot comment on the worth of the rosary.  I'm glad it fell into Christian's hands.  I would find a Catholic friend of yours who says the rosary and give it to them.  If that's not possible and you don't know what else to do with it, you could send it to our family.  If so, I'll supply an address in NC in the next response.
God bless,
Charlie
