Wonderful ornate turn of the century  crucifix.

Highly decorative and ornate.  One of the best we have seen in a long, long time.  Impeccable shape and quality.  Corpus exhibits wonderful detail and craftsmanship.  Superb ivory color and  size.  Any home would be proud to exhibit this crucifix!

Best quality we have ever seen.   

Smaller than the above crucifix, but exhibits celluloid "ivory striations" in the celluloid.  Top of the line European and American celluloid products.  This one is my personal favorite and the oldest of the crucifixes we have.  It is a superb example of Victorian craftsmanship within celluloid.  Pictures do NOT do this piece justice.  The striated finish of this celluloid crucifix makes it almost indistinguishable from ivory!

Beautiful old  Mission Style Crucifix.

Wonderful mission style crucifix dates to 1910's to 1920's.  Stamped "Germany" on the rear, bottom.  The pre- World War One German celluloid is not as "ornate" as the American ones, but just as impressive with its wonderful patina and ivory appearance.

Celluloid French  Monastery Crucifix.  

As with the prior crucifixes, this dates back to the early 1900's and was probably manufactured in France.  We purchased from a very old Canadian.  This is one of the larger celluloid crucifixes, and is very reminiscent of the wonderful old world craftsmanship of European craftsmanship at the turn of the century.

The top where the mounting ring attaches to the wall looks like it may have been repaired years ago, but without a magnifying glass, is un-noticeable [photo 4].
