Luther Bible

[1John2:15-17]

My parents just sent me my great-grandmothers Luther Bible (all in German). This was printed in St. Louis in 1897 by Concordia House. Other than a heirloom, just how valuable is this Bible?

In order to read it I would have to relearn German, which my vocabulary wasn't very large when I used it about 30 years ago while stationed in Germany.

Probably would depend on condition.

Old books usually don't go for much unless they are extremely rare and noteworthy.

On eBay there's also a parallel English/ German Luther Bible which may be of assistance.

Be careful, some people inflate prices on eBay hoping to make a killing off of someone who knows no better.

I was just curious. Didn't think it would be worth much monetarily.

I was just curious. Didn't think it would be worth much monetarily.

It could be.  It would depend on the condition of the Bible, and on the eagerness of a collector to acquire that Bible as one of his own.
