Mylar/Cottrell Bible Records
This incredibly large, ornate bible was printed in 1883. I hope to put photos up at some point. My family is unsure how we got this bible. Perhaps a friend of my grandfather's with no living heirs? We are simply unsure, but glad to have such a beautiful antique. My sister keeps it now.
I hope someone out there will find the information within useful.
A page inside reads:
