Banks, merchants and offices once kept stamps like this on the desk to mark a payment on the back of a promissory note. This is a copper-faced printing block with the old bank-note endorsement "Paid on the within Note" cut in flowing script, with a date line that begins "19" for the 1900s. It would look great displayed with other letterpress blocks, vintage office or bank ephemera, or as a conversation piece on a desk or shelf.

Details

  • The thin copper plate is fixed to a plain wood block with small nails.
  • The script is reversed (mirror image) as on any printing block and the text is deep-cut and crisp.
  • The piece is very light, about 1 ounce.

Condition: Green verdigris and darker patina on the copper face, with ink smudges and some pencil or ink writing on the wood from use and light wear along the wood edges; the lettering is still crisp - see photos.

The photos are part of the description. Packed with care and shipped promptly.
