A classic piece of mid-century ecclesiastical and religious metalware: a vintage double-compartment communion pyx (or sick call box) crafted from solid sterling silver by F&L, featuring a cross motif on the lid and a fitted protective leather slip pouch. Designed for carrying the Eucharist to the sick or homebound, this hinged folding metal vessel opens to reveal two shallow compartments with a secure clasp mechanism.
Type: Eucharistic Pyx / Sick Call Box
Material: Solid Sterling Silver (Hallmarked with the F&L maker's mark, "Sterling," and "Pat. Pend." on the reverse bar)
Design: Double-hinged folding case featuring an ornate cross emblem on the front lid, a secure latch bar on the reverse, and dual circular interior shallow wells.
Dimensions / Style: Pocket-sized portable devotional item designed to slide neatly into the included protective pouch.
Condition:
Very Good Vintage Condition: Shows minor age-appropriate surface wear and light tarnish consistent with age, but hinges are tight, the clasp functions securely, and the interior retains its clean finish.
