COAL Mining EMERALD GEM Vintage Letterpress Printer Block, cut, Southern Coal and Coke Co antique logo, Cincinnati Ohio retailer

This is a vintage printing block logo advertisement for a southern coal company. The metal plate reads: "EMERALD GEM TRADE MARK. REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. SOUTHERN COAL & COKE CO., CIN, O." This is a metal plate mounted on wood block.
Condition: Standard printshop wear and tear.
These blocks are still usable and printable as an antique component for letterpress prints. All type is reverse on the plate but prints the opposite so text reads correctly. One image is flipped to show what it will look like printed. Make your own printed ephemera with imagery like this on your letterpress printing press. These blocks also make great souvenirs, gifts or visual knick knacks.

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 7.5 picas
Wide 7.5 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 will go for 1 rate.

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