MEDIUM ART hot NOUVEAU border printers block, Arts & Crafts era vintage letterpress plate, Frame for wedding invitations, announcements, cards

This is a vintage printing block of a type high printable frame showing decorative Arts & Crafts -era design. Great for framing text or illustrated prints. This is an engraved copper plate mounted on wood. This block is still usable and printable as an antique component for letterpress prints. Make your own invitations, announcements, greeting cards, notebook covers, ornaments and much more with imagery like this on your letterpress printing press. These blocks also make great souvenirs, gifts or visual knick knacks.
Normal printshop wear and tear. Some chipping on the sides of the supporting wood (this won't show up in printing).

Type High Block is .918" high which is the standard for printing blocks in the US
(this is the measurement from the bottom surface of the block to the printing surface)
All measurements are approximate - I round to nearest pica or half pica - also see photos.
Tall 24 picas (4 inches)
Wide 15.5 picas

Interior space:
Tall 15 picas (2.5 inches)
Wide 9.5 picas

I provide all measurements here in printers measure - Picas and Points (There are 6 picas in an inch for non printers.) Also see photos - picas and inches are indicated on my ruler shown.

These antique printing plates are sold AS IS - no returns or exchanges. All items in this store are used and most likely dirty with ink and print shop dust on them, if I notice any flaws or crushed sections I will note it in the description or ask me if you notice something that you want clarified. I am a letterpress printmaker so if you have questions please ask.

Shipping
If you want to order multiple items it is sometimes best to contact me - I prefer to ship several items in small flat rate boxes because of the weight of some of these pieces and can fit as many as hot will go for 1 rate.

International
Sorry but I cannot ship any packages overseas at this time.
