    Here is an old bible that belonged to my grandpa. It is called the "Ruby Reference Bible". The very first page appears to be missing. Would like to know publishing date. Also, there are some very faint pencil notations on inside front cover. 0364C00B-FA83-4236-A0AA-1040DA7DC6CE.jpeg 0972C6D0-4582-4B4F-9FEB-C67325A2D7B9.jpeg F2BD0255-494A-4971-A4D6-2FE0ECBF9290.jpeg 51DDE8FA-81A1-4595-9247-2D5BA69E6875.jpeg B42ACB31-4819-40E8-B2BB-322C9CD7C94D.jpeg

    I've examined my share of old bibles. If the publishing page is gone, then judging by the typeface my best estimate is 1850 to 1880. Abe books says 1869.
    There could be several editions, yours looks like the deluxe printing!

    The pencil mark looks like it says 7ED or seventh edition?
