    1. Old Rosary Beads
    2. Kathy McClung
    3. Hello, I have been given a pair of very old rosary beads. My grandfather brought them with him when he left Ireland at around 16 years of age (he was born in 1887). He was born in County Fermanagh in Newtownbutler. The rosaries are very small. They are broken but when they are laid out in a straight line they measure 12 ins. including the crucifix. The crucifix itself measures only 1 inch. They are dark blue teal in color. The actual beads are very tiny. If anyone has any type of historical information on this type of rosary beads or has a pair like them in their family, please email me. Thank you very much. Kathy
