Description

The listing, Antique Bible ~ Gilt Edge & Leather Bound has ended.

This bible is in pretty good shape for the age of it. It measures 4 3/4 x 2 3/4 x 1 1/8 inches. The cover has a torn spot which I have tried to show in the pictures. All the pages are there and none seem to have any damage. The binding is loose on both sides and the last page is loose. I don't know anything about old books but I do know that this one is a treasure. It is metal rimmed all around the the clasp is perfect. If anyone out there knows anything about these books I would love to hear from you. I am starting the bidding high, so if you don't want to bid, please don't leave comments.

Questions & Comments

This is very nice but can u lower the starting bid because I really want this could u just maybe consider letting it start low and let it make its way up on credits because a lot of people don't have 20,000 credits but If u start the credits low a lot a whole lot of people will start to get interested

I do understand that a lot of people don't have this many credits, but I think this is a rare treasure and have held onto it for many years. I think the starting bid is a fair one. But I do thank you for looking at my auction and hope that you will be able to win it.

I have this same bible I bought it in an e-bay store and it is inscribed " To Lucrecia from her uncle Thomas"and continues with a passage he wrote in it "This precious Bible, points the Pilgrim to the gate which leads to Heaven. May its truths influence you to obtain that home above." And then he writes under that...My dear Niece," The marriage vow is Solumn, may you so view it. While a good providence continues you in the wedded life." And under that it is signed--Boston March 21 1861. There are small letters after the 21 (maybe st) I love this Bible, it is a major treasure. Must have been given to someone important.

What a wonderful story!! I so wish this one had been inscribed to the person with the initials on the clasp. I've never seen another one like it. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

I think that is a wonderful idea. Something they can grow up with and carry throughout their lives. Good luck, I hope you are fortunate to win this auction.

speaking of barbaric, some of the most barbaric acts in history were caused by christians

Sep 3rd, 2013 at 12:25:30 AM PDT by

Really agree

Sep 3rd, 2013 at 4:57:19 AM PDT by

The Bible for the most part is a good way to live your life....but some of it is down right evil.....

Sep 3rd, 2013 at 12:23:51 AM PDT by

Agree

Sep 3rd, 2013 at 4:57:03 AM PDT by

everyone says that other religions are wrong......and guess what....they are ALL right......all religions are made up by people who need to have some sort of hope in their life......

Sep 3rd, 2013 at 12:21:44 AM PDT by

Yes, I agree.

Thank you for the bible lesson, however, everyone is entitled to their own religious beliefs and thats the way it should be left. Thanks for bringing some conversation to my auction.

Thank you for checking out my auction.

Aug 30th, 2013 at 12:17:36 PM PDT by

As for the date, it is shown in the 7th picture in roman numerals at the very bottom of the page. It was published in the 1852. It really is lovely. Thank you for your interest.

Aug 28th, 2013 at 10:52:05 AM PDT by

Yes, I also agree that it would be a travesty to do any damage to this or any other Bible. I thought BubbaDBear was joking. If not, then he is of course entitled to his opinion.

Aug 28th, 2013 at 10:46:38 AM PDT by

Is there a date inside the book of when it was published? fanned and watching!

Aug 28th, 2013 at 5:37:17 AM PDT by

Fanned back.

Aug 29th, 2013 at 12:27:43 PM PDT by

I am agreement with mrscaninch. It would be barbaric to destroy a beautiful book inspired by God. True not everyone believes in God but the day will come when everyone will know there is a God and every knee shall bow to Him. This book is holy and should be respected as the true word. Any book would suffice to hollow out the pages and make a safe..why the Holy Bible??

Aug 28th, 2013 at 5:35:30 AM PDT by

not everyone believes in god

Aug 27th, 2013 at 9:23:02 PM PDT by

not quite large enough, unless you only have a handful of quarters.

Aug 27th, 2013 at 8:56:08 AM PDT by

just hollow out the pages and you can hide money or valuables inside it on your bookshelf! or your stash! hehe
