Antique Letterpress Printers Block Image Gallery
Posted on October 08, 2009 by admin
We currently host an on-line gallery with over 1000 rare, antique, or vintage printer’s blocks. The blocks are all American made and date from the 19th and early 20th centuries. There are categories that include electrotype copper faced, metal alloy faced, foundry cast blocks, hand-carved woodtype blocks, classic advertisement, Holidays, edged weapons, and early foundry identification and pin marks. There are many fine examples of very early hand-carved woodtypes that include telegraph, animals, edged weapons, and more. Many of these historical items are also available for purchase in our on-line store. Our blog offers more in-depth information on specific blocks or styles of blocks. Please visit the gallery to view our collection. We will be adding to it continually and will be displaying many more fine examples from this Historic and often overlooked art-form.
