Desperately Seeking MOP Prayer Missal

[ReConvert]

Hi!
I am trying to get my mother a special gift for Christmas. She owned a Prayer book / Missal that was her grandmothers. It was stolen and I’d like to replace it.

It was about 5" x 3 1/2" and the cover was made of mother of pearl.

I have found several sources for children’s missals but nothing that would be appropriate for an adult. I don’t want it to say “My first Communion” on the front.

The one she had didn’t have anything but the mother of pearl on the outer cover.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Candis

I went to froogle.com and typed in “mother of pearl missal” - it came up with a variety of results, including simulated MOP - but here are a couple more authentic choices:

rubylane.com/shops/chainsawchuck/item/00241?gbase=1

These are both pricey, unfortunately. But very pretty!

Princess,
Thank you! I checked out your links. Unfortunately neither of those panned out but I did end up finding one on EBay and it was less expensive.

Hopefully my mom will be thrilled with her surprise.
Merry Christmas!
