1815 HOLY BIBLE 1st American Stereoytpe RARE D&G Bruce LEATHER antique EARLY old

Posted by admin On September 29, 2025

1815 Holy Bible Stereotyped and Printed in New York by D. This is the first Bible printed in America using stereotype plates made in America. This printing is much more rare than the 1812 Bible Society of Philadelphia printings and is difficult to find in any condition. The actual binding of the pages is solid. Front cover worn, but not in terrible condition for age. The rear cover has been affected by water damage and is very warped/discolored. This affects a small portion of the spine as well. Though there is some staining to pages, luckily it’s very minimal when compared to the cover. Typically when you see this kind of water damage to the covers, it also drastically affects the pages as well. But in this case, either a rebind or a replacement of the rear cover would nicely preserve this rare printing! Pages have the typical foxing you would expect from a Bible of this age. Measures about 7″ x 4.5″ and about 2 thick. The majority of books I list are 150+ years old. I do my best to describe imperfections and flaws in the item description, but please review pictures for the best idea of the condition. Check out my other book and Bible listings!

Rare Antique American Brass & Hand-Forged Iron Entrance or Door Bell Early 1800s

Posted by admin On July 25, 2025

This rare find is only one of maybe a half dozen I have seen over the years. It is in amazing condition and fully functional. The cast brass bell is marked “10” and looks like a miniature early church bell. It retains its original cast lead & iron ringer and has a very pleasing ring. The bell is attached to the forged iron hanger with a forged eye-bolt, and the hanger extends vertically and terminates in a wonderful spiral spring which could then be hammered into place with the attached large forged spike. Presumably, the spike would be hammered into a beam or trim near the door such that the movement of the door rings the bell by way of a cord attached to the door and to the eye-bolt on the bell. Or, someone wishing to enter would pull on a cord which would go through the trim from the outside and ring the bell more like a regular entrance bell or doorbell. This piece was probably made in the Northeast between 1800 and 1850. It would be suitable for an important architectural restoration. Dimensions: Bell & Hanger: 8-1/2″ tall, Attachment Spike: 5-1/4″ long, Spring: 1-3/16 wide, Bell: 3″ tall, 3-3/16″ max. All parts are intact with no structural damage, cracks, losses or repairs. Overall original patina is undisturbed.
