The Book
The holy tome! Shit is heavy. It's also falling apart so I had to be extra careful not to cause it any more damage.
Side view
Fresh out of banana's... so here is a small horse.
Taking a look inside...
Beautiful text
1 of 2 news clippings I found inside the book
Its from the Minneapolis Journal circa 1916.
The other news clipping...
Ol' Vic had a thing or two to say.
The relatives...
Patriarchs of days old
wackjack
Don't sell that. Seriously. Take it to be reconditioned and pass that shit down. That's an heirloom motherfucker.

Do they even make bibles like this anymore? I ain't even religious and I'd love to own one.

As a german: My ancestors used "Mein Kampf" for this reasons instead of a bible ... jk ;)
tommyfearn
That carpet tho...super comfy.

My mom does genealogy so she'd freak
ILiketoLikeThings
I can't believe Bibles were like 6 times larger than horses in the 1800's.
thatsnotgoodforthebaby
My family bible was published in 1599 and was once baked into a loaf of bread to hie it when that edition was banned.
jimcake
I know exactly how big that horse is.

FutureDelayed
Me too. Hello.. cousin??
Blackbird2Raven
Holy crap! Hi cousin! :D Through which of his children? I'm through Elizabeth (married William Peabodie).
FutureDelayed
It's Ruth Alden for me. I'm related to her through John Adams supposedly. But I'm not really the genealogy addict in the family.

that cover is dope

WHAT IF THAT HORSE IS REGULAR SIZED AND THE BOOK IS GIANT?!
IAMFROOPLAPA
I need a big horse to scale that small horse
GrouchyMarx
So, is that horse 1:1?

I love old stuff like this. The history within books and photos like these are amazing!

Oh, hey, do people like old bibles? I've got a box of Gutenberg pages that were never collated ...

This is awesome. It makes me wonder if any of my possessions will still be around in 100 years.
ItsIstanbulNoNotConstantinople
It would not be circa 1916 if the churches gained 3 million members since then.

Like the top part of the post said, it could be an old family Bible that family members periodically add things to.

+1 for being honest about no bananas.

I've got old photos of relatives as well

From the thumbnail, it looks like "Hobbit."

I wonder if boys in the 1800's were just like "I can't wait till I can grow a mustache,i'll get all the bitches then".
RepaidRapidDave
and again after smokey and the bandit.
RawSuger
i believe it was more ill finally be a man and have the respct of my peers. a time when hounddogging was not peoples principal concern
NotSoMuch
Them, and my dad from the 1970s onward.
reddenbocker
No, because boys who called women "bitches" back then had to muck out the barn. ...and then sleep in it.
SavageHonesty
If this is true, I would be fucked. Just not literally. Kind of like right now, actually.

Can confirm. I have a time machine.

One question: Are your smell related vegan identification powers related in anyway to your time traveling?
Mittadmenudusetstatuam
If so, can I join?
ICanSniffOutTheVegan
Yes. Vegan scientists don't want you to know this, but time machines run on baby seals.

As someone who can grow a mustache quite easily. I really wish they were more popular.

ShroomsofDoom
That's cause these days you're automatically categorized as at least one of: unemployed, gay porn star, weird hipster hobbyist, pedophile.
StonesOnTheHill
Go east until you smell vodka, then go south for just a little bit. You're welcome.
WanderlustTexan
My wife originally did not like my mustache. However, I kept it until it was odd to see me without one. Persistence won me a mustache.
PublicRelations
Will use when I actually get in a relationship
IJustReallyLovePingu
I like mustaches, I hope you're taking part in Movember!

I always feel a bit off when this whole 'no shave' thing rolls around. Was I supposed to be shaving all the other months?

wynautzoidberg
Is it a duck sized horse? Because that would work
RetiredLurker
Yeah be a man.. or woman.. human.. and use a regular sized horse!!
pancreas
For all we know that's the normal size for that breed of whores.
Jaeto
If by "worst" you mean "fooking awesomest!", then you sir, are correct.
