Vintage/Antique Brass Triple Holy Oil Stock (Chrismarium) - INF

Vintage/Antique Brass Triple Holy Oil Stock (Chrismarium) - INF, CAT, CHR Description: An authentic vintage or antique Roman Catholic triple holy oil stock (chrismarium), traditionally carried by priests for pastoral visits and administering sacraments on the go. Crafted from solid brass, this travel-sized vessel features three interlocking, cylindrical compartments that screw together neatly into a compact column. Each section is clearly hand-stamped/engraved with the traditional abbreviations for the three holy oils: • INF (Oleum Infirmorum) - Oil of the Sick for Extreme Unction • CAT (Oleum Catechumenorum) - Oil of Catechumens for Baptisms • CHR (Sanctum Chrisma) - Holy Chrism for Confirmations and Ordinations The matching numbers hand-stamped inside the bottoms of the compartments and the lid (e.g., 60, 10) indicate a handmade matching production assembly, ensuring the custom threads align seamlessly. The "INF" container still retains its original cotton/wool protective padding used to absorb the liquid oil. A beautiful piece of ecclesiastical history in very good, functional condition with a lovely natural aged brass patina. • Material: Solid Brass • Height: 5.3 cm • Diameter: 2.8 cm • Weight: 104 grams
