    printing for costume shop or vintage clothing boutique?
    FREE SHIPPING - AS USUAL
    ca. 1930s small-sized (about 1
    1/4
    inches wide by 1
    1/4
    inches deep -
    I would give dimensions in picas except I no longer have a line gauge)
    letterpress ZINC & WOOD line cut or line engraving (known on ebay as printer's blocks - but a real printer never would have called them that),
    showing a cartoonish man leading a dog and tipping his hat to a nicely dressed (very long skirt!) woman walking in the opposite direction. She SEEMS somewhat surprised or taken aback but it's hard to tell just by looking at the cut.
    The scan (POSSIBLY ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAILS) with the man on YOUR LEFT is what the cut will look like when you take it from the shipping package; the scan (also POSSIBLY ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL) with the man on YOUR RIGHT is what the cut will look like in its mirror image when it is actually printed on paper. Cuts ALWAYS look better when they are printed but I no longer have any letterpress equipment whereby I could print these for a picture here.
    ALL SCANS ARE, because of new ebay picture rules, PROBABLY LARGER THAN ACTUAL SIZE so go only by the dimensions given in the first paragraph of this description to know the actual size!
    This would be great used by a boutique or hobbyist letterpress printer for, perhaps, a costume shop or a vintage clothing boutique store.
