eBay Description
Unique handmade metal card or photo holder featuring the classic LDS Young Women torch emblem, a longtime symbol of the Young Women program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The torch design is constructed from individually cut and welded metal pieces, creating the recognizable young women/profile silhouettes within the flames. A tall spiral wire extending behind the torch is designed to securely hold a photo, inspirational card, scripture, name card, announcement, or other small display piece.
This appears to be an artisan-made or locally produced piece rather than typical mass-produced Church merchandise. Visible welds, grinding marks and natural heat coloration contribute to its handmade character.
