The only items necessary for these rites are a crucifix, blessed candles, and holy water. However, many sets traditionally held additional items such as cotton for the oil, a linen cloth, a spoon, a plate, and prayer books.

Condition: The latch is broken, but it can be easily replaced.

This is a magnificent vintage piece for home devotions. A framed lithograph of Warner Sallman’s famous “Head of Christ” painting is mounted in a fixed frame that doubles as the cover of the sick call set. The box is designed to be hung on a wall until needed and then removed to create the altar for a priest’s home visit.

This set comes with two unused candles, a spoon, two mini glass bowls, and the original ball of cotton. It is dated 1941 in the lower left corner and appears to have never been used.

Condition: There are linen remnants stuck to the crucifix and inside the box. It must have disintegrated, leaving only the fibers. Presumably, this could be easily removed. Please see pictures.
