The only date I could find is November 11th 1880 and it's on the last page of the revisor's preface. The only name I could find was William Smith, LL.D and it was on the page entitled Comprehensive History of the books of the Holy Bible. This bible has an alphabetical index, marginal references, more than 500 illustrations and maps. It also has the bonds of matrimony page, a birth record page, death records page, a page to record marriages, 2 military services pages and 2 family trees pages. It has a history of the translation of the english bible. The New Testament is written with black and red lettering.
This 1860 goblet is black silver and in good condition. It is heavy and has what appears to me as C8 inscribed on the front ornimental peice. The base is short and the cup is deep 3 3/4" deep.
All I can find out is that this is a possible 1937 Gilfillan console radio, model #831-T-C. It has 8 tubes, 9 AM circuits, plus 2 short wave bands, and a tuning eye. On the back there is and ID #707411 445x690. I just bought it so haven't tried it but was told it worked. Would like to find out what it's worth.
