PLEASE Read entire description and look at all photos! This is a beautiful huge 1884 ornate leather with embossed gold and silver color metal cross clasp Catholic Holy Bible with New and Old Duoay Rheims Testaments, Illustrated Steel Plates, Canonical Scriptures, Maps, History, Paralipomeno, family names Betts from 1854 to 1911 and so much more, see photo pages for all details.

Leather cover (was cleaned and conditioned) is in good shape for age with some wear to gold print, imperfection spots and one beautiful cross clasp (orginally had two) that is alittle loose on bottom side, but not falling off. Inside pages are as expected for age with some yellowed/darkened/foxing/dark spots/tears as you can see in photos, but overall is in nice shape for age. Illustrated and family names, empty photo pages in back. Writing on inside cover.

Leather has been cleaned and conditioned. Measures about 12 1/2h"x 11" x 4 1/2 and weighs almost 13 pounds so is very heavy and shipping will reflect this. I don't make money on shipping. I am offering media mail, but highly suggest for buyer to choose the
