Condition Notes
This antique Bible is in fair to poor condition, consistent with its age of over 130 years. The binding is severely compromised and is barely intact, having split completely in the middle as shown in the photos. Several pages have become loose and have completely fallen out of the book. The leather cover shows significant wear, with scuffing, worn edges, and softened corners. The pages are yellowed and brittle from age. This item is being sold AS IS, with its value lying in its potential for restoration or as a historical display piece.
