Circa 1910's-1930s, this antique rosary is made of oval brown wood beads and metal. There are also two medals attached to the rosary, namely the Miraculous medal and a souvenir medal from the Basilique Notre Dame de Brebieres in Albert, France. The Notre Dame de Brebieres was at the center of the Battle of Somme which through my readings says that at the time of the First World War, it was then occupied by the Germans. The basilica was bombed and attacked during the First World War and was known shortly for the damaged tower and the leaning (in a horizontal way) statue of the Madonna and Child. It is worth reading about this basilica online. This antique rosary has a beautiful patina and just perfect for your everyday prayers. Pease study the details of this beautiful rosary: 

Crucifix: the metal could be made of silvered brass. The cross is moulded rather than 3-dimensional. Size: 30mm x 20mm

Links: are in the twisted '8' shape. All links are original to this rosary. 

Beads: are made of oval brown wood beads. The wood beads and the rest of the rosary have attained a beautiful patina. These beads have been conditioned ready for your use. Size: 8mm x 6mm

Center Medal: The tiny center medal is also made of diamond-shaped silvered metal. It has an image of a young Blessed Mary. The reverse side shows an image of lily flowers symbolising the purity of the Blessed Mother. 

Medals: 
Miraculous Medal: an antique brass medal. 
Souvenir de Notre Dame de Brebieres: also a silver-tone medal.

Length: 19 2/8 inches or 49cm long
59 beads
