I was running some errands yesterday and decided to stop at a little thrift store in town. I didn't have much time and just did a quick walk-through. One small item caught my eye and I picked it up. It's a bronze headstone marker for a Methodist Minister (or I suppose it could serve other purposes) and it was obvious it's never been used/mounted. Anyway, it's 5 1/4" across and weighs over a pound! How could I go wrong for a quarter? I picked it up, got rid of a dime, two nickles and five pennies that were cluttering my pocket, and brought it home. I decided to look it up on the net when I got home and the silly thing sells new for $115.00!! Sheesh!
I guess the foundry made two options, one says "minister" and the other says "clergy".

Here's a pic of the one I found (and a pic of how they're used) ...
