ANTIQUE VICTORIAN LEATHER FAMILY BIBLE VTG Newton Upper Fall MA MacLean Halliday

Recent estate find from the residence of a serious collector of Holy Bibles. This copy is in solid condition.

Pages are fragile but present. Some pages loose, torn, edges have loss. Missing one of the nickel-plated closures.

Water-damaged pages and musty smell. Filled will engravings (several pictured). One family/genealogy page has filled in with several names.

Name of all inscriptions is MacLean or McLean. Newspaper article announcing a marriage between a MacLean and Halliday was between the pages.

If you're looking for local history, they don't get much more historically relevant than this. Check my other items for more family bibles.
