ANTIQUE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT AMERICAN HOLY BIBLE SOCIETY 1867 CIVIL WAR BOOK

This auction is offering a very old, well read, leather bound civil war edition of the Holy Bible. This Old and New testament of 765 pages was translated out of the original tongues (language) by the American Bible Society. It is 7 inches high and 4.5 inches wide with a place for a Family record. The Old Testaments title page is missing but the New Testaments title page is intact; saying "translated out of the original Greek and with the former translations diligently compared and revised. New York; American Bible Society Instituted in the year MDCCXVI 1867"

The condition is fair and fair and readable with the following noted:

• Sewn binding intact with pages somewhat loose
• Gold printing on spine and detailing on cover is almost worn away
• Main title page having bible chapters listed on back is torn with missing pieces and some pencil writing
• Old Testament title page is only one missing
• Pages yellowed, some dog eared and has foxing throughout
• Leather cover is very dry with well worn edges
• Inside of covers had lots of pencil writing

The family record has old style writing showing the birth and death of the Manson family with these dates: 1861, 1866, 1881, 1884, 1890, 1895. A religious memory card was also found in the book for Anna McCarthy Walker. There is also an old photograph from the 1920's or 30's that shows a women and man standing next to an antique car. Also included, an old hand written letter note to a father from his daughter: dated Apr. 28-40.

This was a donation to us by an unknown family in our Erie Pennsylvania area. These old family bibles have become very collectable for nostalgia purposes and for local history buffs.
