Vintage Large Metal Printing Press Block, Industrial Salvage, Unique Office Decor, Handmade Letterpress Block

Unique large printing press block used to create a large invoice or receipt. It is likely a handmade piece as was common practice in print shops. This square wooden block has a metal front with a cool design and backward writing! It would create a great deal of conversation as office decor. You could also display this on a shelf in your industrial design scheme creating a nice letterpress wall art.

This block (and others in our shop) are from a printing press in the Southern Tier of New York that was left behind in a barn. The last thing printed in the shop was from the early 1980s. Most of the equipment and blocks are from the 1960s and 1970s.

Measurements: 6" Wide X 5" Long X 1" Deep. This is also a heavier print block because of the metal. It will stand alone but is a little front heavy so placing it on an easel might be best to prevent it from falling.

This is in great vintage condition. There are some discolorations of the metal which gives it tons of character. The wooden block on the back is in great condition.
