For sale is an unusually rare souvenir building variety of Paris\' iconic Sacre Coeur basilica in the heart of the city\'s Montmartre district.
There are lots of metal replicas of this famous church, but this is the only one to my knowledge cast without the basilica\'s bell tower, focusing instead entirely on the main structure.
Compare # 1820 in Replica Buildings: A Visual History [Merwine] which dates it to the 1920s, assigning it a value of $100-$250.
It is made of lead with the front reading: \"Le Sacre-Coeur Paris\"; the rear: \"Depose\".
It measures 3 3/4\" wide x 2 1/4\" deep x 4 1/2\" to the tip of the central spire.
It is in very good to excellent condition with a warm aged patina to its matte gold finish.
The bottom is covered with a green felt protective pad.
Shipping includes insurance and signature tracking (to minimize thepossibilityof loss to \'porch pirates\').
