Description

The listing, 1896 Leather Bound Bible w/ Inscription has ended.

Amazing estate sale treasure!! Has a few condition issues, but overall it's in great shape for being over a hundred years old!! Measures 6" x 4" x 2". Sweet inscription from parents to their child on first page. A really interesting collectible. It would make a remarkable Christmas gift for the antique hound in your life, or someone who is religious/spiritual.

Phoebe Mae Haertel received this on her 8th birthday. She was the only child of Carl and Edith Haertel. Mae died in 1980 in Portland and still has a grand daughter living in the area.

The research done on this beautiful Bible is a. Aging!! To know the hands that touched it, and some of the lives it has touched... Simply amazing!! Thanks again for sharing!!

Aug 20th, 2014 at 5:52:28 AM PDT by

It touches my heart also : )

Aug 20th, 2014 at 8:11:30 AM PDT by

Should have said amazing not a. Aging. Lol, my spell check has a mind of its own!! Lol!

Is this a King James Version?

Aug 16th, 2014 at 3:28:01 AM PDT by

No. On the second page it lists 'the books of the old and new testaments'. Nothing regarding King James. Hope this was helpful!!

Aug 15th, 2014 at 6:26:22 AM PDT by

I feel the same way!! It's passed through so many hands, and each with a story. Fascinating!!

Aug 15th, 2014 at 6:49:26 AM PDT by

so list some stuff with reasonable gins, you have plenty of time before the auction ends and enough feedback to get the credits right away.
