I’m sure that bible is something to see in person and fun to read and knowing it’s very old. I know you could never part with it and wouldn’t blame you, but would be nice to see what kind of money it would go for.
Congrats to Jesie!

Thanks for all your comments! The Bible got a lot of “wows.” The cover is made of leather and it’s very worn. I don’t know how it got it’s “indent” in the center; I don’t know if it’s wood under the leather that makes it that shape.

The writing inside is very old, too– written in ink and with a quill pen you see in those movies, lol. It’s an amazing feeling to read the words written by one’s ancestors!

And CONGRATS to Jesie, because that Benjamin Franklin quote is in the movie “Gone With the Wind”! Woooo! I’ll be sending you 100 Entrecard credits, Jesie.

Thanks for your comments.

It’s a very significant quote. Everyone should cherish every wonderful moment in life.

Thank you for sharing all these wonderful mementos you have. The Mecomber family Bible must be a cherished heirloom. It’s great to have all those toys to bring back memories.

Wow! You have a lot of stuff (heirlooms) from different times. Your family bible traces back to 1844! I like the cover and I am sure the family tree will be helpful to all generations. That’s so cool.

My guess is that the quote was inscribed on a plaque in “Gone with the Wind.”

Happy photo hunting.

What a fun twist on the “Time” theme. It is fun looking at your collection of old things. We have Cootie and I played all the time with my boys when they were little. It’s not an antique like yours, but it is a fun game.
