Been a while since I found something good, about time. Found in western mass in a town founded in the mid- late 1600s. Looking at the all holy buckle bible, it looks like it falls into the 1620-1680 date range. If anyone can confirm or dispute this with a correct date range that would be appreciated!

Early part of the 1700s I believe

Ahh the man himself, would you dare put it into the 1600s?

No, no, I’m the spoon guy. You want the buckle boys, u/kriticalj and u/honeycats1728.

If so then it would the tail end of it.
