This brass-bound Bible, printed in 1620, is one of many items on display in the antique salesroom which Robert R. Patterson of 400 Awixa Rd. has opened at 331 E. Huron St. Although the collection is only scheduled to be shown for a three-week period, Patterson may keep the shop open for a longer period if demand warrants it. He is a retired consular and diplomatic service employe, who originally started collecting jewelry, glass and silverware as a hobby.
