HERE IS A FANTASTIC SET OF PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN AMERICAN BIBLE BOX & BIBLE WITH EARLY AMERICAN TOOLING!

THE BOX HAS FANTASTIC WALLPAPERED DESIGNS. ON THE BOTTOM IS THE COVEROF THE AMERICAN CALENDER FROM 1779 WITHHANDWRITING DATE IN INK OF 1780 WITH SOME WORDS IN GERMAN. IT WAS PRINTED IN LANCASTER. I BELIEVE THIS BOX WAS MADE IN LANCASTER.UNDER THE WALLPAPER DECORATIONTHERE IS DOVETAILING. THE HINGES APPEAR TO BE HAND CUT TIN.

OVERALL A BEAUTIFUL 18TH CENTURY FOLK ARTBOX. THERE IS SOME WEAR FROM AGE & USE BUT OVERALL IN GOOD CONDITION - MEASURES 8 1/4 X 6 3/8 X 4 5/8 INCHES.

THEBIBLE ORIGINATED IN HUSSE AND WAS PRINTED IN 178? (ONE OF THE NUMBERS CHIPPED OFF). IT MADE ITS WAY OVER TO AMERICA WHERE IT WAS REBOUND (AS IS EVIDENCE FROM THE YORK PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE NEWSPAPER ENDPAPERS. THE BINDING HAS BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN TOOLING, INCLUDING A BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN TOOLED HEART - 4 RAISED BANDS ON SPINE - ROSEHEAD NAILS HOLDS IN THE STRAP (MOST OF THE STRAP IS LACKING). THE BIBLE COVERS HAVE WEAR AND SOME LOSS WITH SOME WORMING - THERE IS SOME LOSS TO THE TITLE PAGE. THERE IS SOME MINOR FOXING & BROWNING BUT OVERALL IN GOOD SHAPE. THERE IS AN OWNERSHIP SIGNATURE WITHIN THE BOOK TO ANNA ELIZABETH KOCHIN JANUARY 1791.

THE BOOK IS WRAPPED IN ORIGINAL HOMESPUN THAT HAS VARIOUS DATES FROM 1830 - 1857. THE HOMESPUN HAS SOME STAINING BUT TO FIND THIS ARCHIVE ALL TOGETHER IS A WONDERFUL THING.
