Old Bible

Last weekend at Bay City, there was a vendor. Well he had a "ton" of Bibles he was giving away free. He put them on a bed someone was selling, right beside my booth..

Well I used to study the Bible, so I like them. But I have lots myself (most every version I believe). I think I said to "Roxann" I wanted her to grab "two", that were there. Let others get the rest.

She also found a few she wanted. The "two" I wanted were..

1) A very "New looking", and detailed Bible. Big.. with pictures..

2) An extremely "Old" looking Bible. Like "ancient" even... those were the two I wanted..

Well today, it was "slow" at my yard sale. Alot looked.. good traffic. I don't think it will do much till we get "MORE" content in (which I will do - working on).. Next few days will pick up..

Anyway, I had alot of time to look over this "Old" Bible.. I got it free, and at first put a $2.00 tag on it..

After reading, and looking at it deep.. I am certain this was before 1900.. It doesn't show a date, but alot leads me to believe that.

Within the first pages, it has has a "Message to James" (Meaning King James.. AKA "King James Version").. It show where it was "printed" in England.. but no real "date"...

Just looking at the thing, you know it's ancient.. The wording (how it was printed for the Queen of England), but also says it was for "James (King James)".. tells me...

It is probably an OLD reprint of the "Original "King James" Bible, with subtitles on why, and who did the translation". It was also for the "Queen of England (then), and reproduced by her people..

At any rate.. I think this "BIBLE belongs in the ANTIQUE ROADSHOW" (TV program)!! No I won't call them or anything.. but I know I got something more special then people think.. I sure would however like to find it's value someday.

Know anybody good at this? (antique value) I can tell them "every wording" it has.. condition, whatever.. I want to see if it's worth going in for a "real evaluation"...

Laterz.. Gary :)

Roxi and I researched the "Bible" deep one day. Every word, every "text" (like all we could see on it). Fairly certain it is from the late "1800's". We found similar (printed same place.. etc..) worth several hundred or more dollars. Serious.. I wish I knew it's actual value. I do know it's worth "something now", but not sure how much.

Personally I don't read the bible. It contradicts itself and lost itself in the many translations. I don't knock people that base their lives on the bible. I just don't get anything from it. I find it to be one of those storys that you tell one person, they tell ten people, etc...until it gets back to you as a totally different story. You want a mind fluck...read Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard. That will mess you up.
