1822 MARTIN LUTHERS GERMAN FAMILY BIBLE FAMILY NAMES OSBORN - HENTZEL - MYER ???
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4707945 |
DESCRIPTION: THIS BIBLE CAME FROM SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA WHICH HAD A BIG GERMAN POPULATION DURING THE TIME OF THIS BIBLE. FAMILY NOTES IN THIS FAMILY BIBLE DATE FROM 1809 THRU 1855. SEVERAL NAMES I FILL PRETTY SURE OF ARE OSBORN, HENTZEL AND MYER. SEVERAL OTHER NAMES APPEAR THAT I CAN NOT MAKE OUT TOTALLY. SOME FAMILY WRITING IS IN GERMAN. BIBLE MEASURES 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" X 2 1/2". AS PHOTOS SHOW THE BINDING IS STILL TIGHT. THE COVER AND SPINE HAVE EDGE WEAR AND A PIECE OF THE ...SPINE IS MISSING. THE STAINING ON THE PAGES WITH FAMILY NAMES DISAPPEAR WITH FOLLOWING PAGES. NATURALLY PAGES SHOW SOME BROWNING BUT NOT REAL BAD FOR BEING 200 YEARS OLD. IT WOULD BE NICE TO RETURN TO A DISTANT FAMILY. HAFT TO LOOK CLOSE TO THE PHOTOS PROVIDED AND JUDGE WRITING AND NAMES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FILL FREE TO EMAIL AND I WILL DO MY BEST. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
