carosio Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Are they old family bibles? If so I think they have to be very old to be worth anything. Have you researched online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb2007 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I believe it's 1781, I have 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I don't really know much about them except that family bibles are one of the most popular items submitted to the Antiques Road Show. Are they King James bibles? I would hang on until you've established their worth. Pop a photo on if you can, someone might have an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb2007 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 They are the same as this one here but no where near as good condition http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=13216728205&clickid=w%25253AiwFxXJ6UuLxS20JRxHjyyZUkVXvkU1XRFyww0&cm_mmc=aff-_-ir-_-59419-_-77797&afn_sr=impact&ref=imprad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Why not judge a price from that and try one on ebay, it costs nothing to list, and books are easy to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Just out of interest, is there any genealogical information in any of them (and if so is there any chance you could take a photo of it and post it online somewhere)? Since they are before the start of registration it might be valuable info for anyone researching that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb2007 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 yes there is genealogical info in the front cover, mostly the name Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
