Thanks for bringing this up. I got this one for Christmas. They weren't familiar to me before. We plan to emboss some stationery with it. They are fascinating.

Re: I just love these types of PRINTER'S BLOCKS
Wonderful to see, flat bed press blocks. Think of the progress in typography. Some of these might have formed up pages composed with loose type; most likely with line-o-type. Next came the rotary presses, Ford would have provided fiber composite "mats" of their ads to cast the hot metal plates for the press rolls. The "hot metal" presses were made obsolete by offset lithography which only required "camera ready" copy to drop ads into newspaper pages. Now we've advanced so far that newspapers, like the dinosaur, are heading for extinction.
