Vintage CHARLES THOMAE Sterling St Michael the Archangel Religious Medal
Vintage marked STERLING with the Charles Thomae hallmark religious medal of St Michael- the back of this medal is blank and very shiny- so it appears to be rhodium plated to resist tarnish. The medal measures approximately 13/16ths of an inch tall not including the bail.
Patron saint devotional medals, also known as "saint medallions," bear the image of a Catholic saint. Saints are assigned qualities or causes of which they are the "patron saint." People pray to the saints about these qualities. These usually relate to acts and causes taken up by the saints when they were alive.
