Seller's Description

Unique Antiquarian Sidder (Jewish Prayerbook)

Circa 1901 with Brass Trimmed Celloid Cover with Bone, Celluloid, Brass, Tin and Velvet Embellishments 

The title page is missing, but this volume is consistent with the book:  Form of Prayers and Blessings of Israel with an English Translation published by the Hebrew Publishing Company, Brooklyn, New York

Book opens right to left. 511 pages. 32mo: 4.75 by 3.5 inches in size and 1.75 inches thick.

The book is white celluloid with a brass frame on the front and back covers. Teeny brass nails mark the midpoint of the frame closest to the spine on both front and back cover. A detailed brass clasp and peg to hold the volume closed are intact and working.

The front cover has many layers of artistry. Working from back to front, outside in: a brass frame about a quarter of an inch all around, a then a celluloid border about a half inch.  On top of that there is a deep very detailed frame of silver colored metal (oxidized, possibly tin) about 4.5 by 2.5 inches. A zig zag border design is around all inner and outer edges of the tin frame. The frame does not respond to a magnet and may be sterling silver or German silver. The center is kind of an ovoid cutout.  The embellishments have been incised from a single sheet of silver colored metal, some fine detailed work. 

On top of the silver colored frame and secured by 16 teeny brass nails is a very detailed "lacey" celluloid/faux ivory border. The design ranges from a quarter of an inch at its narrowest to an inch at its widest and features little leaves.

Inside the silver colored metal frame is red velvet backing and in the center of that is a handcarved ivory medallion of the 10 Commandments Tablets which is about .75 inch wide and 1.5 inches long.

480, or so, pages with Hebrew and English text.  The pages are gilt edged all around.  The inside covers are lined with a white moire paper.

There is a bound in Czecho-Solvakia sticker on rear endpage.

The celluloid spine is peeling from the velvet backing and is chipped at all corners.

The book itself is fragile. This was a beloved and well used volume that went to shul often and it does have much handling wear and tear. 

Front hinge is separated with pages prior to page five (including title page and contents page) missing.  Pages 5 to 474 are detached from cover, but intact and bound together.  Inside front covers is soiled with some losses to the moire.  There is a tiny stain in the margin of pages 5/6 and one in the margin of page 285.  Pages 7 and 17 has some light blue crayoning.  Several folded page corners.  Some pages are cut without a margin on the bottom - a publishing issue.  Back hinge is broken with interior spine exposed at page 474.  Page 475/476 is missing and page 477/478 (The Hymn of Glory and Prayer for the Goverment) is torn and creased.  477 to rear endpage is detached together.  Clasp has a slight bend.  Back cover has fingermarks.  There is tiny spot on front cover.  There is a slight bend to the metal frame on the right side. 

We have a similar volume available in separate listing.

QUESTIONS?

Please ask any questions prior to your purchase.

We do not accept Offers.  We do not respond to offers made.  The price is what it is.  We’d love it if you would pay more, because we need a bookmobile, but we won’t take less.

 

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL US?

Have we misspelled something?  Please let us know.  Is a photograph missing?  Please let us know.  Do you have information you think we should add to our listing?  Do you want to share some information about a relative who signed a book we have on offer or a recipe we highlighted or a historical note?  We appreciate your interest and we’d love to hear from you.

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING:

Every item has calculated shipping. Please choose your preferred method.

Shipping includes USPS tracking where available.

All shipments are subject to US Postal Service regulations.

When we ship the item, you will receive a message with shipping information and USPS Tracking Number (where applicable.)

Please visit www.usps.com to check the tracking of your package for shipments within the United States.  End to end tracking is not available for most shipments outside the United States.

CONTACTING YOU AFTER YOUR PURCHASE:

Occasionally, we have questions after your purchase.  Sometimes we need to confirm a shipping address.  If we have questions, we will contact you through eBid’s messaging system. Please check your eBid Messages and your email or shipment of your item may be delayed.  It is possible that your purchase may be cancelled if we don’t hear back from you.

 

BUYERS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES - PLEASE NOTE:

Receipt of your item may be delayed if it has to go through custom inspection in your country.  Occasionally, this adds days or weeks to delivery.

Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.

We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.

During peak shipping times, it may take weeks to have your item clear customs.  We’ve had some items arrive in Europe in a week, but a package to South America once took six weeks to arrive!  Again, you’ll have to check with the customs office in your country if your item hasn’t been received.

Restrictions in your country may not allow us to ship certain items. 

Many countries do not allow shipments of coins or precious metals, for example.  Some media, including computer software, music CDs or DVDs may be restricted for sale outside the United States.

VHS and DVDs are formatted differently for different countries.

If you are purchasing a VHS videotape, please note the format your machine requires before you make your purchase.  Most of our tapes are NTSC format (it is specified in the listing what the format is) which will not work in most video players in Europe and Australia.  We routinely contact anyone overseas who purchases a VHS video to ask them to check if their machine can play an NTSC tape before we ship. 

Many DVDs also have a specific format by country.  If you are purchasing a DVD, please make sure the DVD is a format that will play in your machine.

 

NO RETURN, NO CANCELLATION POLICY:

We no longer accept returns or cancellations due a history of fraudulent claims.
 

OUR TEXT, IMAGES AND OUR COPYRIGHT:

Our photographs and text, including titles and subtitles, are copyrighted and may not be used, copied or redistributed.  Quotes are for illustrative purposes only and remain the property of their respective copyright holders.

Civil and criminal penalties apply to the theft of copyrighted material.

If you see our photographs or text elsewhere on eBid or online, please let us know. 

We’ve found our “stolen” photographs and text on other e-commerce websites many times.  In order to help reduce fraud and image theft, you’ll notice that most of our photographs have our logo or other label appearing on each image which obscures a small part of the item. 

It is possible that anyone who uses stolen images or text may not even have the item they are trying to sell and that their intention is to defraud you.  We don’t want anyone to use our images or text to try and sell you something they don’t have. 

Please be savvy and safe while shopping online.  Your local public library should be able to help you find great resources to protect yourself and your family while shopping online. 

 

Thank you for reading this.  You are the kind of educated consumer with whom we want to do business and whom we aim very hard to please.

 

We appreciate your looking at our listing! Your purchase supports libraries, literacy and lifelong learning.
