This portable private altar dates from the early 1900's and was used for priest visits to administer the Sacraments of Last Rites for the dying and Anointing of the Sick for the ill. The box is solid oak wood with ornate metal clasp and hinges. Interior of box is lined with purple fabric and the front panel lowers flat on hinges. Comes with a wood and metal crucifix, ornate metal candle holders, glass holy water bottle, ornate metal plate with IHS on it, a solid sterling silver spoon, (marked Made in USA, 900, WB/W) small metal dish, shell shaped metal holy water font, and two paper pamphlets with instructions on the last rites of the Church and how to assist the sick and dying. The holy water bottle is very unique, has a crown and cross on the back and a little cork stopper. There are also two little boxes for storing things, they are now empty. Wood case measures 15 x 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. There is a small crack in the top of the lid and one of the hinges on the drop down panel is missing the metal pin that holds it in place. There is also a dark area on the drop down panel that looks as if something was spilled. A rare and very complete set, and also a precious heirloom piece.
