<p>[QUOTE="Kevolee, post: 4213351, member: 2594"]Hi, I have this 6.75" figure of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini that is made of plastic of some sort and I haven't been able to find one like it to know how old it could be. It is marked on back CDF ITALY. On the front there is a small button with a clear center that says Reliquia SFS Cabrini. I have found that it likely holds a small piece of cloth that was put in contact with an original garment of St. Cabrini. I did find one similar to this but with a totally different base, but there was no indication of how old that one was either. That one said it glows under a UV light, but what's interesting is that the button on this one is silver toned but under a UV light it is blue. The figure itself is not affected by the light. She died in 1917 and was canonized a saint in 1946, so I am assuming this figure is from sometime after the latter date. If anyone has any ideas or knows what CDF stands for I would certainly appreciate the help.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335600[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335603[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335605[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
