I was given this at a yard sale this summer because the woman said she didn't feel right selling Jesus. I think he is bronze? brass?? On the back it has engraved CFXXII & Germany. He is 9" tall. Anyone know what the marking means? other than 22?
-
162 if I'm right about the letters CFXXII.
-
Do you know what that would indicate? I wasn't thinking that way. I was thinking CF stood for crucifix. lol Although th CF is above the numerals??? Just looked it up no F.
-
methiks this is only one half of the crucifix...
-
I agree with Wull. The holes on the backs of the hands and between the shoulder blades indicate that it was removed from the cross.
-
It for sure was attached to a cross before but I am stumped by the marks??? Does it pertain to age? BTW I got the best half.
-
How close would XXII be in centimeters when converted from inches?

8"

Iced,
Could it be "CE" and not "CF"? CE could mean "Common Era" or, in other words, "AD". Just following leads.
-
22cm = 8.66141732 inches...to be exact
-
22mm = 0.866142 inches
-
CF for sure. You guys working for the IRS with those conversions. lol ;D
-
22mm = 0.866142 inches
you,d better see Mart ..for a pair of $1 cheaters....22mm is a far cry from 22cm....
-
CF for sure. You guys working for the IRS with those conversions. lol ;D
if that was the case then it would be 19 to him and 1 to you..... ;D
-
"CF" is an abbreviation for "Christian Fellowship"; maybe "Catholic Fellowship"?
-
Wull,
Oops; that's what I get for scanning the original post.
-
When I looked up roman numerals F was forty. XX=20 C =100 and ll means 2

well over here F stands for Freddy, and C for Charlie.... ;D.....

CFX= Crucifix 12 If it had a cross and was meant for export could have been marked for "12 in. Crucifix" with the cross !! So whole set would have been 12 in. total !! Or if it were made in different sizes they would be marked with what it is and the size by the maker !!

Freddie Krueger? Know him well! ;D

Was just talking Wullie,, I think it just a simple way of marking what goes with what !! May have had 10, 12 and 14 inch sets !! Made in Italy !!

The CFXXII is a Part #, ...... me thinks.
This looks to be same design so maybe this one is marked with a CFXXI or a CFXXIII ..... to wit:

that,s close enough for me....but we,ll wait an see wit doubtful Dinah has to say..... ;D
-
Well if he was on a skinny cross like that no wonder he came off. He probably jumped... Where the C & the F both have dots after them probably company makers initials and then the XXII the part number. Would make sense. Was hoping it would be a bit more exciting than that though. Bummer.

HA, you give up too easy and lose money in doing so. ;D ;D
That is a great piece for, ... uh, ... whatta ya'll call it, .... "repurposing".
Find something appropiate in your collection, other than a cross, say a picture, a plaque, etc., ..... and attach it to the front of it ...... and I'll guarantee you someone will buy it.
-
as cogar says...stick him on something different and he,ll fly...or i can make you a wooden cross from cedar,and you can stick him on that,as for...it being a bummer,...that conjures up many different meanings over here,..."heid bummer"....or "air raid siren".....or a braggard... ;)
-
I would find some weathered old wood and make a cross and put him there. Then I would hang it up. If you are not Christian, or a non symbolic Christian, give it to a Catholic, Orthodox or Lutheran church and they can make use of it.
-
This is why I like this site. Shows me where I miss the obvious. I have a couple ideas for him now. Just trying to hunt down part B.
-
What if I do something like this with it?
-
bump
;D
-
Myself, I'd rather see a cross than a board.
Just a couple nice straight rustic branches with hewn ends, mounted together would work.
-
Mounting it on a Cross is just too "vanillany" in my opinion because there are zillions of them out there. I still ascribe to the "Odd n' Different" rule.
I was thinking more of something like this, to wit:
