Description
The bottom of the lectern has a paper attached underneath and it reads: MINIATURE CHAINED BIBLE AND LECTERN. Bibles were so rare in olden times it was necessary to chain them to Lecterns and other places. The chain is a facsimile o what may be seen in Hereford and other Cathedrals and Parish Churches all over the country. The Bible can easily be read with a magnifying glass which is supplied. *Note, that the magnifying glass is not included in this lot, but two religious books are. The Holy Bible has leather cover and was printed in England. The book is from 1919. It's readable and the spine is not in great condition, but I would say fair. The inside is in very good condition. The other book is the Common Prayer is in good condition and was made in Glasgow by David Bryce and Son.
