<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 435572, member: 59&quot;]Back to old books. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I discovered my 3rd great grandfather&#039;s copy of the Life of Franklin, published in 1818 and signed by him in 1854 (my 3X GGF, not Franklin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />) when I was going through my mother&#039;s seemingly endless bookcases back in 2011. Had no idea it was even there. It has obviously seen many better days. Terrible foxing in the early pages, the ink from his signature bled both ways and the glue used to adhere the Library of Congress registration notice published in a newspaper(?) also discolored through a couple pages too. But the black binding and marbled end pages aren&#039;t terrible and I figured I should keep it for the family connection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]152794[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]152795[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]152796[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]152797[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]152798[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]152799[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
