Collector’s Notes
Memorial Bibles in wooden presentation boxes were often given as sympathy or remembrance gifts, making this piece both devotional and historical.
The included UAW Chevrolet Local No. 362 Bay City, Michigan sympathy card adds a local labor-union and Michigan provenance note that gives this set more personality than a standard family Bible.
A thoughtful vintage Catholic Bible set with quiet presence, display appeal, and a little local history tucked inside.
