I have an 1880 German bible. I'm going to do my best to give you the first page. It says: Bibelen eller Den Hellige Skrift, inbeholbenbe det Gale og def Nye Teflamentes Ranonife (sp? can't read it) Boger. Then it has what looks like a crown with a circle and an "H". Then it has an address, then Rjobenhavn. Then Van bet Brittife Hdenlandife Bibelfeljfabs Nelojtning. Then 1880 under that. It has BBS on the front. I've done my best with the spelling, but some of the German letters are difficult to transcribe. Any ideas? Thanks. Bobbie

There are websites that rate antique books. I don't think it is worth much though.

I also have an antique bible from the late 1800s, very pretty embossed leather, with a decorative metal clasp and an interesting inscription inside. I took it to an antique shop and was told it would only be valuable to the right collector. In other words it wasn't worth much. I keep it on my hall table as a decorative item, because, interestingly enough, I'm an atheist, so it has no spiritual value, but I like the way it looks next to my antique candlestick.

the bible is the only living book in the word...who knows what the physical paper bible is worth these days...I paid 50 bucks for mine...the point is that the word inside the book is priceless because it belongs to me....God's love letter to the world

I suggest that you walk by it and see for yourself: all the treasures of the one who owns everything. Jesus Christ Himself

Take it to an antique book store and they can tell you more about it.
