Here is another “find” worth a Blog posting. This is an early 1900’s Steamer Wardrobe Trunk Click this link for a more detailed article.
This posting is more about the love of Ancestry Research, rather than about finding a Vintage Bible.
After I retired, I spent about a year doing extensive research on my own surname and family tree. Had I stumbled on an old family Bible such as this, connected to my family, I would have thought I struck gold.
While this Bible’s condition is well worn, tattered, missing metal or leather clasps or straps, and the binding is coming apart. None the less, it is a beautiful vintage Bible.
The page that has a description, and we wish a copyright date, shows the following.
Holy Bible
Containing the Old and New Testaments
Together with the Apocrypha
Translated out of the Original Tongues
And with the former translations diligently compared and revised
to which are appended
A Concordance, The Psalms of David in Metre,
An Index, Tables, and other Useful Matters.
The Text Conformable to the Standard of the American Bible Society
Philadelphia:
Charles H. Yost,
Bible Publisher
No. 815 Filbert Street
At some level, it would be incredible if someone see’s this post and this leads to having this Bible find its way to it’s rightful place.
We believe this Bible to be C. 1870’s. There is no copyright date that we can find anywhere.
Our Appraised value of this Bible in “As is Condition” is $500-$800. The Book is going up for sale. We may ship this off to be sold in a high end auction. For now, contact or inquiries can be made through email to:
Info@toponautic.com
To a family that can link a surname to this book, it could be priceless.
Some of the Surnames written in the Bible are: BALL, MURRAY, LITTLE, and LINSON. See the transcribed info from three pages with inked handwritten entries. The handwriting appears to have been done by the same person? Some is difficult to make out and when in doubt we have provided a few possible alternatives.

As author of this blog article, I became fascinated by some of the information I found. That led to some limited genealogy background investigation on some of the surnames found within this Bible. My notes are notated in light gray font.
Eulass Ball for an example was a graduate of Lexington Medical College. He was one of the pioneer physicians of this country. One of only eight in the area at the time per one article I read. (Ref:Book “Portait and Biographical Album of Greene and Clark Counties, Ohio” Page 264
Mary E. Ball wife of Cyrus M. Ball is also referenced in the same above referenced page. A lady that had received every advantage of education and training. Her Grandparents were early pioneers and large land owners.
Cyrus M. Ball was incapacitated by paralysis of some nature. Mary E. Ball had oversight of their affairs. Cyrus Ball owned 1100 acres of land.
At one point they built a mansion (started April 1889) at a cost of about $35,000. It is presumed that it was the largest and finest farm house in the state, if not the United States at that time. It even had hot and cold water throughout. Connected by telephone to South Charleston, one and one half miles away.
This appears to be a pre 1950’s Bostrom-Brady #2 Transit Level. Known as a Builder or Farm Level. Some parts brass, other parts copper or possible red brass. Manufactured by Bostrom-Brady Mfg. Co. Atlantic, GA U.S.A
We believe it is in in its original wood box. The box is vintage and original looking. Corners of the box are joined using finger joints. Hinge pins appear to be a nail with tail bent over and trimmed off.
The box has a wood padded cradle to hold the transit level, as well as a place to secure a Plumb Bob. The Plumb Bob is missing. There is no paper instruction sheet, and any Bostrom-Brady label or tag that may have existed is not on or in the box.
There is a unique label attached to the inside of the hinged lid. It adds some dated material to the piece. Making it somewhat unique, more desirable, and perhaps adding some additional value to a collector.
If you owned this piece what would you do with it?
