I found this Rosary by accident at an Estate sale. There were three of them all together. They measure 6' long the Crucific is 7" long the Center Peice is 5" long and the Beads measures 1.5" long. I have never seen anything like these. According to ladies at the Estate sale who knew the women that owned them they all volunteer for Angel Haven maybe you have heard of them they help poor people, but back to the rosaries the women pick these up either in Spain or Portugal it was were she last traveled to before she went to Heaven. I hope someone can give me some info about these.
Can you post a pic of the beads? What material are they?
I have a couple of big rosaries like yours. They were for hanging on the wall. Mine are all spanish.
Once I know the material I will ask around my spanish collectors community for ya.
The picture on the far right are the beads from one of the Rosaries. On the left of the picture is Jesus and on the right of the picture is who I believe is St. Joseph. Now the other Rosaery has rectangular shape beads when I get a chance I'll post it. I hope someone can give more insight of origin and age or time frame on how these came about.

Now here is a web site I found that has a Rosary like mine in one of the Pictures but they were not able to tell me much the person is a collector of just Rosaries.
