Santa and Sleigh Engraved Copper Printing Tile, Newspaper Ad Department, Vintage One-of-a-Kind

A one of a kind printers tile, formerly used to set advertising copy in a newspaper, depicting Santa and his reindeer carved in copper. It is a wonderful conversational piece for your mantle at Christmas time, or to try printing if you are so lucky to have a press. It is a nostalgic glimpse into the past world of printing. 100 years ago every city had a newspaper and local magazine and the printing tiles can be found in antique shops all over the country, but the holiday ones, like our Santa and his sleigh, are especially sought after. Be sure to look carefully at all his detail. This definitely a one of a kind Christmas collectible, and a great gift for the scrap book fan in your family.
Tile is 8 inches by 4 inches.
