Vtg German Lutheran Bible & Prayer Hymn Book WELS Concordia 1910

These was a gift set given to Walter Nelson, likely upon his confirmation.

Vintage German-language Lutheran devotional book set including a Bible and prayer/hymn book. Both volumes are personalized to the same owner, “Walter Nelson,” suggesting they were used together for personal worship.

The Bible is a Luther translation printed by Concordia Publishing House of St. Louis and includes both Old and New Testaments in German. The smaller companion book contains prayers and hymns commonly used in Lutheran church services.

These books reflect the German-language worship traditions used by many Lutheran congregations in the American Midwest during the early 20th century.

Condition: Both books show significant age and wear. The Bible has heavy edge wear and cover deterioration from long use. The smaller prayer/hymn book remains in better condition with typical vintage wear. Pages appear intact. Please see photos for details and condition.
